[quote=Anonymous]Since what you are doing isn't working, you need to find something else. I would go beyond a behavioral assessment and get a global evaluation by a developmental pediatrician. There may be something like ADD underlying this. I knew a child who behaved as your child did until he was diagnosed with ADHD and treated with both behavioral and medical treatments. It turns out he is an incredibly sweet bright kid. ADHD affects impulse control. If it is "just" anxiety, you might consider medication until your DS can learn to control his behaviors. And try to avoid labeling him bad to him, even though there are plenty here on DCUM who will be quick to do the same. He almost certainly already feels like a bad kid and all that does is feed the problem. You are a good mom.[/quote]
