[quote=Anonymous]See if you can talk to someone at Dan Shapiro's Parent-Child Journey organization. I think they've seen everything and might be able to provide insight. You can also sign up for a class at some point when you have a little more energy and meet other parents whose kids are in such need.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. It sounds so discouraging and draining. My child, at a similar age, was raging out at night, knocking things over in his room. I don't know where we fit his furniture in the rest of the house, but we kept moving things out of there bit by bit. I don't know what really got him to calm down--I think it was just time and vacation somewhere new. To this day, I don't really know why he did that, but I think it had to do with a classroom that was more out of control than the school would let on and his being pretty dyslexic when an inexperienced teacher was trying to teach reading and writing (it took him a long time and some tutoring to feel better about writing, and he still doesn't love it.)

I'm glad you reached out. I hope one of these recommendations gets you the help you need. I have found, in the challenging situations with this child, that the moments where I'm the most desperate are also the ones where I'm closest to starting to get things to turn around, because I'm getting advice. Hang in there. In the meantime, I hope you're doing some things that refill you. You need it! [/quote]
