[quote=Anonymous]OP - first, I can tell how stressed out you are and I'm sorry you are going through this.

You need to get a private evaluation - especially so that you can get a proper IEP in place before K.

The licking sounds like a tic. If you get him into psychiatrist/ and or developmental pediatrician, they can prescribe him something to help with that, which can also help with impulsivity- something like tenex/guanfacine, or clonodine. My son has tics and the clonodine helps.

I'm not pushing meds, just saying you need the right professionals in place in case that is the road you consider.

My son has had a lot of same problems as yours, and he has several things going on - ADHD, Anxiety, SPD, Dypraxia and Language disorder (your child is probably not this complex) just letting you know a lot of things can cause a child to hit and act out. They aren't doing it on purpose, they don't have the skills to deal with  frustration like their NT peers.

My son uses chewys. They sell a lot of different kinds on amazon, but the heavy duty red ones work best for my son. They help with his tics, and when he's feeling anxious.

I wonder if your son might be able to use something like this in place of licking things?

Anyway, I know how hard it is to deal with the stress of it all, and that you just want to punish him and hope that works - it doesn't. All the other suggestions here are good - especially the ones about "The Explosive Child".

Best of luck.[/quote]
