[QUOTE="humbleyourheart, post: 275536, member: 6690"] Thanks for all the input. You've definitely given me a different point of view on how he sees things. It's just that his disrespect is so constant these days I begin to think he is just a brat and not a difficult child who has trouble thinking things through. Lately he's often angry a good portion of the day and there seems to be no time to actually use what's happened as a teaching tool. Sometimes he is angry and name calling and battling right up to bedtime. If I let him outside to play with friends he is fine, but as soon as he's asked to do something he doesn't want to (like come eat dinner or move his bike out of the driveway) he gets mean. He knows he should not call his parents names and say they are dumb and stupid, but he keeps right on doing it. For the incident that happened yesterday I totally see now that I should not have given consequences in the middle of his raging because it did only make it worse. But are you saying not to give a consequence even later when he is calm? Is so, that is going to be a really hard one for me. Don't they still need some accountability for their behavior? Midwest Mom - I have no idea if his diagnosis is correct. We are still trying to sort that out. I don't really understand the difference btn biplar and Intermittent Explosive Disorder. We had a neuro psychiatric evaluation done a month or so ago. They were very helpful in ruling things out and after meeting with her to go over all the test results I do have to agree with her findings. She was able to rule out ADHD, Learning Disability (LD) and Aspergers which I never thought he had. She did see the anxiety and the obsessive components we knew were there. She was not able to diagnose bipolar, but she said all of his symptoms most likely fit a bipolar diagnosis and that she would leave that up to the psychiatrist. [/QUOTE]
