aggressive child

Hello you wonderful patient and UNDERSTANDING moms and dads and grandparents (and who ever else...) out there. My name is Stephanie and I have 3 wonderful daughters. The younger two are biologically linked to my husband. Where as the oldest is not. He came into my life when she was a little under 2...

First off let me say that it feels good to have found this forum because I know that I will get support from people that understand what I am going through rather than people trying to tell me that my son’s actions are normal “boy” behaviors. My son is 4 years old and very violent...

I'm feeling like dam*ed if I do, dam*ed if I don't.... Neuro has been telling me for months to give Vyvanse a try with difficult child. I took her off of stims because I felt they were causing her to be more aggressive & mean......even though she was on them for quite a long time with other positive...

So, last night was the first full night home for D. He had a good day at school and came home happy to play with his brothers. There was some tension with A, but I did see that D was able to compromise and work things out which is a major milestone!! But, as dinner time came along, things...

:happy: Greetings! I'm Michelle... I have a 16 year old who has ADHD, ODD and Asperger's Syndrome (some forms of all but not all inclusive). Some days it's easy and others are a real challenge. The biggest obstacle seems to be his inability to effectively socialize properly. We've been through...

We saw the psychiatric this past Tuesday. It didnt take much observation to see how impulsive, hyper, inattentive, unfocused, non compliant, defying authority, difficult child is. I told the psychiatric that difficult child is like that all the time and throw in some aggressive meltdowns and explosions every now and again for...

when he's bad, he's very, very bad. Today we visited our "old" child psychologist. I had called ahead to tell them I would like to go over difficult child's psycho-educational test results. Dr R is an authority figure. And he can explain things very well--clearly and calmly. difficult child told me he didn't want...

First of,i am Alex and my difficult child is 6 and in Special Education for adhd,odd and borderline bipolar.In his IEP he is under emotionaly disturbance and other health impairment.We have had issius with him since he was only 2.To make a long story short,he has been medicated for almost 2 years now,but never on...

Ok not really a First First Appointment but first with a psychiatrist. Been seeing a counselor for our son who is 5 and has been diagnosed with ODD and ADD. The counselor recommended this psychiatrist so that we could look into getting my DS on medication before we try behavior mod. He has a...

difficult child waaaay overslept. When he finally got up, 5 min. b4 we were supposed to leave (I had carpool) he said none of his clothes fit him. He tried on 4 pr of khaki pants (dress code) and none fit. I placed an order last night for larger pants (in 15 mo's, he's gone from a 10 reg to an 18 slim*) but...

I came online tonight looking for more info about ODD because my daughter has it and it has been a long day. She's 8 years old and also has PTSD and panic attacks. Her biggest problem, though, is the ODD. She's just abusive and mean. I don't really understand why she's this way. I have another daughter...

Boy am I glad to have found this place!! My 4 1/2 year old son was recently diagnosis with ADHD. I had my suspicions from about the time he was 2 on. It has progressively gotten worse since then. We have been having a very difficult time with him. I have just been at the end of my rope lately. I...

OK... long night. K has been horrible for months, if you have been keeping track.:dissapointed: Her delusions have gotten so much worse in the past few months. I am trying to keep separate the new addition of Depakote and her "normal" behaviors!!! But, husband left for a week on Monday... she had...

I am in need of some help. I have a 9 year old difficult child who is causing some problems. He has ADHD and I'm thinking maybe some ODD also. He has been very aggressive and just down right mean to his brothers and sisters, and me too. Right now he is one zoloft and adderall. Anyway, when I was taking him...

I came across this website lastnight when searching for help. Why is it I cannot get anybody to help with my "difficult child?"? He has not done enough wrong to have juvie to step in, child protective services will not step in because I have not beat him to death, yet. Even though he is becoming more and...

difficult child II was released from in hospital today, despite the fact that he assaulted a nurse and an aide last night, and was put in confinement. Depsite the fact that the SW admitted his mood swings were "scarey". Despite the fact that the partial hsop appointment isnt until Monday. He is now home with me again...

I joined this list some time ago when I thought my son was ODD ... We never got a diagnosis and it wouldn't have mattered anyway... He was in a CTT class for K & 1 and moved to a gen ed class for 2nd grade .. he gets Occupational Therapist (OT) & PT and had speech until it was decided that he didn't really need...

We just our neuro appointment yesterday and 3 psychiatrist appts the past couple of weeks. A lot of the talk is about Sammy's ability to learn. Apparently the seizures have caused some good amount of damage in his little brain and then add the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) to that. We are trying to schedule a 23 hour EEG to...

Someone suggested this and I thought it was a good idea. We have to remember that everyone is different and that this isn't a "yes" or "no" on anything, just our own children's experineces. I'll start. Ritalin was my son's first medication and it didn't do anything much for him. He was then put on...
