My husband and I had a meeting with the psychiatrist last week. We talked for about an hour about the concerns we have with my nearly 4 year old. We told her all the safety concerns and the hundreds of stories about things we have gone through with him. She said we actually amazed her with the things he is capable of. I told her that right now he is so little and cute that the things he does are forgiven but I am afraid that as he gets older it wont be so cute anymore--they already aren't!! We are so exhausted from keeping our eyes on him all the time. He started preschool 3 times a week and he cries so much every morning. The teachers say he is good at school but I think he has not gotten into his comfort zone yet. His impulses are starting to come out at school as he brought home playdough and blocks in his school bag and told me that the teacher let him. After I spoke to the teacher he admitted that he "sneaked them". When he gets home from school all hell breaks loose!!!! He is out of control until bedtime. I guess he is so confined all day that he is out of control when he is finally free. We try to set guidelines but he is so hard to reason with. We will see the dr. on Wed. so she can spend some time with Carter. She let us know that medication is probably going to be the best option because she can't even begin to counsel him until he can stop and focus a little. We are with him everyday and it takes an act of congress to get him to listen. Well thanks for all the advice--keep it coming I am so new to this and don't know which way to turn to make the right choices for my boy. Thanks, Stacey
