[QUOTE="Malika, post: 435219, member: 11227"] A lot of what you say resonates for me... In fact, this feeling that the child has never left the terrible twos, something I have said too about my son, is a common theme I think among children with issues or disorders or however we express it. I think I've also read it in literature on ADHD. It's great that the school now has some understanding and wants to deal with it in a way that doesn't single him out - that is very positive for him. I fear things are not going to get better or magically improve. I hope I'm wrong but suspect I probably am not... I say this because it's what I was at one time hoping and thinking with my son and what SO many people told me, that he would just grow out of it, etc. And in some ways he HAS calmed down and is capable of doing things that he was not a year ago, for example. It used to be an absolute nightmare when we went on a plane journey; now he will sit still or at least around his seat playing with toys for quite a long time. That kind of thing. But the impulsivity is still there as much as ever, and the oppositional tendency and what I call his "para-aggression"... It doesn't go away and I now realise it's not going to. When you say that you hope to find a means of channelling your son's emotions, I totally understand - I just haven't found for myself or from the outside what those means are, however. It sounds like you have access to quite a good network of care and therapy, etc, and it seems wise to wait until after the summer now. Please keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
