[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 580482, member: 11791"] Ditto MWM. While you're trying to get a comprehensive evaluation lined up (neuropsychologist is just one option), you could try and get a copy of the book "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. Lots of us around here have found it useful on different levels. For me, it was a real eye-opener to consider the skills which my difficult child just happens to be missing. Yes, parenting a challenging kid requires consistency. But it's not about consistency of demands or consistency of punishments... it's about order, planning, communication, fore-sight, and so on. This is why it helps SO MUCH to have a comprehensive evaluation, and actually start understanding what makes this kid think. I say "start" because... difficult child kids often come in layers of problems, and the first comprehensive evaluation is not likely to be the last... we've had 3, trying to line up #4, and difficult child is in HS.
