[QUOTE="Babbs, post: 68722, member: 3820"] Many hugs to you ILOVEMYSON <<hugs>> I think many of us have been there and it sounds as though you did an amazing job both standing up for yourself and him, controlling him, and getting your appointment taken care of at the same time. I've had to do restraints in public and it just ain't fun as you know. Mine was 5 but he's always been huge for his age - he was the size of a 2nd grader! I always had restrain him from behind, wrap my arms around his, sit down on the floor bringing him with me and then wrapping my legs over his thighs to keep him from kicking or getting up. Having done this manuever in the middle of a Target to keep him from knocking over an entire shelf, I can attest to the fact that although it works, it can be quite uncomfortable to deal with the social peer pressure from other shoppers. Unfortunately, most doctors, even psychiatrists, have never had to actually restrain a patient themselves - that's what the lowly CNAs and nurses are for! I know that school districts have to train their staff on physical restraint techniques - I wonder if you'd be able to attend one for free considering you have a child who is in their attendance area. If not, the instructor may have better suggestions for techniques or even a community based class that you can take. Hope he calms down and you have a smoother road. I wonder, does he escalate in crowds often? Have you ever had him tested for sensory processing disorders? [/QUOTE]
