[QUOTE="Christy, post: 176469, member: 225"] My son came to live with us when he was almost four years old. His behaviors were not normal. I would describe them to others and many would discount them because he was so young and had been through a lot. I taught preschool as well, and I could see that what my son was exhibiting wasn't typical behaviors. I understand your frustration. That said, your son is very young and at this point all you may be able to do is seek infrormation and structure his environment to be as sucessful as possible. What ever you can do to make things less stressful and lead to a better outcome. At this age and given the developmental delays, it is unlikely that you will be able to motivate your son with tokens. Any rewards need to be immediate. Why do you think he does better in the school environment? Would he benefit form more structure at home? Who gave the original diagnosis of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)? Have a neuropsychologist evaluation if you are able, gather informtion from the therapist and teachers. Don't look for a fix to a problem, look for ways to work around it instead. Good Luck! Christy [/QUOTE]
