[QUOTE="Malika, post: 421599, member: 11227"] MWM, I am puzzled that you do not actually read all the posts to get an accurate picture :-) As I stated before, we are currently seeing a child psychiatrist, have seen a school district psychologist who tells me there is nothing she can do for the present because by her assessment J is functioning normally, have an appointment to see another psychologist in June... This morning I spent an hour phoning every speech therapist in the telephone directory (something I had already done in February) trying to get an appointment - there are months long waiting lists - and also trying to get an appointment with a neuro-psychologist who has been recommended to me as "fantastic". I think by any objective assessment this cannot be called an unwillingness to get outside help!! Patricia's post was good and useful in parts. I was very surprised by her recommending a kind of Plan A approach with my son... Whatever else he is or is not, J is an explosive child. The method of collaborative problem solving works for me... being the old-fashioned "you do what I say and that's all there is to it" method does not work with J. Do I minimise his violence? Compared to the "normal" child, J is violent. Compared to what I have read on some of the posts here, his violence is mild. I think we are all trying to do the best for our children. We will naturally differ in our opinions about the way that that can be done... [/QUOTE]
