What are "behavior" issues?

Isn't this likely to amp the kid up more??

My kid has some similar issues and he is encouraged to push the wall or rip up papers or roll play dough until he can calm down. Has ED classification.

Some kids respond better to being restrained than to anything else. My child asks to be swaddle him so she's calm and secure. She's 9.

9:05 can't count her chickens before they hatch. My DD was beautifully behaved from the age of 6-8, did really well in school, and none of her teachers could believe what had been written on her IEP and she was downgraded to a 504.

It's all gone to shit this year and she's no longer mainstreamed because she requires a school with a crisis room.

The Lourie school is very small and I wouldn't count on being able to get in. The max for the entire school is 40 kids, each child has to pass an interview and the school gets to decide if they are going to be a good fit or not. I don't know what the tuition is per year because if we get in PG County is footing the bill.

What changed in her life? Was it also early onset hormones? That's the extra challenge in raising challenging kids. I'm sorry to hear that -- but maybe that means she can reach calm again.

No external or environmental changes. Hormone changes and growth spurt are most likely the culprit.
