[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 529392, member: 7170"] On a 5yo regardless of who ruled out or diagnosis'd anything I wouldn't carve it in stone and put blinders on. Example Angel was 6 years and 9 or 10 therapist into treatment for bipolar before therapist said "this is more then just bipolar" (just bipolar ROFL ugh!) and led me down path to her Asperger's diagnosis - they had medicated her for adHd (capitol H) for 2 years prior to the bipolar diagnosis. Anyway spanking her to try to change her behaviors would have been equivalent to beating a blind person to make them see! Not sure if other parents of 5yo's have noticed but at this age my kids didn't seem to hear anything after the words NO or STOP. It made things tricky Angel would be screaming "I don't want to go to school, I want to go to the park!" I want to go to work so can eat this month! Would have to say something like " I agree - I would rather go to park then work too, I love the park if its not raining we will stop there on the way home to play, if raining we will go tomorrow" I had to have the if raining clause or she would totally meltdown at school if it started raining! Oh and I had to have her bottom on a swing within 72 hours. Trying to get 2 of them out the door in the morning UGH - try to do as much the night before as you can, set out clothes, have basket next to door for everything goes with you in morning, make lunches etc. Dressing - allow extra time set the pile in front of them and say "oh we have time if you dress quickly to have a story while waiting for bus, will have time to do blues clues computer game etc." what ever carrot need to dangle to motivate them.
