[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 413577, member: 1991"] Hi and welcome. Sometimes it isn't a case of find the right pill and it will go away. medications can only do so much. The underlying problems cause other problems which cause other problems which need a different approach to begin to unravel. A book we often recommend here is 'The Explosive Child' by Ross Greene. Read it, it will help. Our kids are a complex mix of their nature and their nurture. Genetics and environment. A kid with problems (such as Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) in any form) will have as part of the environmental overlay, issues directly related to how difficult it is to cope. Frustration is high, their ability to deal with frustration is reduced, and they also can get very angry. They do work actively to improve their ability to cope, but often the coping strategies they develop for themselves are not the best they could be. Also, we often don't see these as coping strategies, but as problems. When we try to remove what we see as a problem behaviour, and the kid sees it as vital to his coping, you will have conflict. Keep us posted on how you get on. Marg [/QUOTE]
