[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 585206, member: 1550"] Hi there and welcome to the board (although sorry you had to come). You can't compare this child to his cousins. Sounds like he was probably born differently wired (autistic spectrum?) and the many changes in his young life did not help. I don't know what country you are in, therefore I'm not sure who to tell you to take him to, but he needs a complete evaluation. In the US we often used neuropsychs. This is NOT a bad, defiant boy out to make you all miserable. This boy has issues that need addressing and first you need to find out if he has a childhood disorder. I'm thinking that a pediatrician is not trained well enough to give you good advice...you need a different sort of professional who can test him. I have a son on the autism spectrum and you could be describing him at that age. Your stepson needs serious interventions. Once he gets help, he should be able to settle down. In the meantime, you'd better keep an eye on your daughter because he WILL meltdown and conventional parenting won't work for him. He is going to need tons and tons of time and help and a professional who understands him, regardless of what is wrong. Did bio. mom drink or use drugs while pregnant? That's huge. Others will come along. [/QUOTE]
