[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 495091, member: 1233"] Hi and Welcome! the others have given great responses. You are not alone anymore. Now you have us and we understand and have been there done that. I know how hard that is to find in real life. The Explosive Child is an excellent book and most of us have found a LOT of benefit. I also highly recommend "What Your Explosive Child Is Trying To Tell You" by Doug Riley. Dr. Riley posts here now and then and really knows our kids. It is a great companion to The Explosive Child even though they have different authors. Has your daughter ever been evaluated for sensory problems? A lot of us have learned that sensory issues are HUGE for our kids. they freak at textures, sounds, tastes, movements and seek out other stimulation. While I doubt sensory problems are the main problem that your daughter has, getting the sensory things under control can make it possible to help the rest of the problems more effectively. Schools have OTs but I would not trust their assessment fully. A school Occupational Therapist (OT) looks for things that cause problems at school, not in your daughter's entire world. I found private Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluations to be much more thorough and then school was a lot more cooperative.But not all schools are like that, of course. Years ago, long before I joined, some of the moms created an outline for a Parent Report. It is probably the most powerful tool in your Warrior Mom arsenal. You write the report and use it to keep EVERY scrap of info about your difficult child in ONE place. You share relevant parts with the various docs, therapists, teachers, etc.... as needed. The link in my signature will take you to the thread that explains the Parent Report and has the outline. None of us can fix your child, but we can and will support you, listen to you and care about you and your child. we will also share info with you - sometimes that gets you a lot farther than anything else because it lets you ask the right person the right question. DSS, sometimes called cps here because each area calls it something else, is not likely to actually remove you kids. they may threaten, but you have a lot of help in place and they cannot argue that you are not doing all you can.
