[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 175016, member: 1550"] Hi there. I have a few questions that will help us help you. 1/Has he ever been evaluated and what was his diagnosis? Any medication? 2/Are there any psychiatric problems on either side of the family tree? Substance abuse? How was his early development? Did he cuddle with you, make good eye contact, talk on time, relate to his peers normally? Did he play with toys correctly and does he seem to have a good imagination? 3/You may want to do a signature like I did below. It sounds like your child either has a psychiatric or neurological problem. I do not think he is a "bad" boy. IF I were you, I'd schedule him for a neuropsychologist evaluation (they are quite intensive and in my opinion more accurate than other professionals). You can find NeuroPsychs at university and children's hospitals. Setting fires is far out of the norm for a child, but is NOT a sign of a "bad" child. It is a big red flag that something serious is going on and that the child needs an evaluation and treatment. It is hard for us to give you advice because children with certain disorders do not respond to traditional parenting styles--usually they need help getting stable before things can get better. While you are waiting for an evaluation, you can purchase "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. That will likely help you while you wait for more help. Welcome to the board. [/QUOTE]
