[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]only with mom? something doesn't sound right[/quote]

We had the same situation with my ds when he was five.  He knew that if he hit me (mom) that I was "safe" to hit because I would remain calm and grounded.

OP,

I started with the pediatrician and got recs from her.  We moved from there to a psychiatrist and a therapist. [/quote]

I agree that she probably feels the most safe with you.  That's what I first thought when I read this.  She maybe scared and frustrated too.

My son had food allergies and language delays, which used to make him very frustrated, but only at home with me or his grandma. With his dad he would moderate his responses. And at school he behaved very well.
Our therapist did mention that him taking out frustrations at home is much better than elsewhere, and he does that because he feels safe and also he has very high expectations with his mom.
Having said that, I try hard not to lose my temper, repeat back what he says to make sure he knows I am listening, build positive experiences together, watch out for hunger or tiredness or boredom etc. The books on explosive child and raising strong willed kids helped too.[/quote]
