[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Will they take him away for being violent? I don’t want that and I think I’m scared that will happen.

It’s hard because he’s never been violent at school or with other caregivers. 98% of the violence happens only with me. It’s so weird. He will be in a happy mood and excited to see me and still within minutes he becomes violent.

I know a child like this. It’s definitely being maintained by the mother’s reaction and I think could be really helped by a better behavioral intervention. 
Have you had anyone come to the home to help?

I know it’s hard but you really need to fully disclose it to the doctors. You can limit the disclosure to the ones you think need to know. Unless he’s hurting his sibling they aren’t going to call CPS.

I definitely felt the same way disclosing my DS’s worst behavior. Even now when the aggression is extremely infrequent and mild. [/quote]

Op here. Weve done several functional behavioral assessments that show that DS has an extreme drive to get my attention and will choose that over literally anything else. Our therapist says she has never seen a child so singularly motivated by getting one adults attention to the point where there is nothing he will ever choose over getting my attention. She didn’t really have any insight as to why this might be though or what has caused him to have such an intense drive for my attention.[/quote]
