[QUOTE="Adarob, post: 504609, member: 13763"] In first grade things improved SO much. We were finally able to buy a house and stop moving. Her new school was awesome. She had some problems on the bus with keeping her hands to herself, but she was hitting, just too touchy. We finally had a good routine down and things at home were really good as well. Then comes 2nd grade. It was like my kid did a 180. The school has a behavior system called "pride cards" They have above the lines and below the lines. Aboves are good things they were doing, belows bad. Things like being on task, responsibility (having homework),behavior, character, being prepared. She was coming home with 5 and 6 belows a day. They only get these after a warning has already been given. I spoke with her teacher and it seemed like she was just doing her own thing in class again. Being out of her seat, being in centers she wasn't supposed to, talking. We modified her behavior plan and changed her to a sticker chart, so that she would get more praise for each section of the day if she did well. Well that was a bust. Things have escalated and escalated and now she is on her FOURTH suspension from school. I have been taking notes through out the year and I will post those for y'all in a minute. Now at HOME, we don't have these issues. I have never SEEN her have one of these tantrums. I mean, I fully believe she is having them, but I don't understand what is setting her off. At home she may stomp a foot or slam a door occasionally but I rarely have to repeat myself and the only things she does that warrant punishment are at school. The only issues I have had at home are her playing outside with the neighbors (she is allowed in their house and yard, but them only) and then sneaking across the street to play with the girl over there without permission. She is also a walking tornado when it comes to her room, but I don't know many 7 year olds that aren't lol As far as an appointment to see someone, she STILL doesnt have one. I have called this office every day this week and only heard "she will get to you when she gets to you" Looking at my phone history I have called 28 practices. This was the only guy I could find that had the trifecta (taking new patients, working with kids under 12 and took our insurance) He is a pediatric psychiatrist. I don't know anything about add/adhd/odd or any of the other abbreviations. I am really not wanting to medicate her. I am hoping we can get some therapy and find out why she gets to angry at school, and ways we can help her change her behavior. We have tried the count to 10 before you do anything, the walk away and breathe thing and she is still just a little volcano at school. [/QUOTE]
