[QUOTE="amy1129, post: 433217, member: 11795"] Hi Carebear, I feel your pain. My son was the same way, he started at about 1 1/2-2 and we thought it was either a phase or "a boy thing". I talked to his pedi every year and they kept telling me to get him help. I didnt want to believe it because he only did it with husband and I, no one else saw, they thought we were crazy. So year after year his pedi would tell us the same thing, nip this now before it gets worse. At the age of 6, I finally started the journey of seeking professional help. We are still working on ways to help him and figuring out what is going on with him and getting a diagnoses, if any. I will say that my son did the hitting, biting, spitting things also but that has stopped as he got older. The only time he does it now is if I put him in time out and forcefully keep him there. I know that is so not the right thing for him and me but I find I only do it if I am at the end of my rope and completely ready to lose it. Please know that I am not saying that you are on the same path as us, but wanted you to know that I faced the same thing at 3 1/2 and wished I had listened to pedi and saught help then rather than now. There are alot of great people with great advice on this board, I hope you get some answers soon, hang in there. [/QUOTE]
