Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Hello, is 6 years old. He only eats pureed foods, and we can mix rice crispies in it. He is still in a diaper. He has just started feeding himself after our HBOT therapy in June. He takes the spoon from my hand after I scoop the food and then lays it back into the tray. My problem is that he is pinching and pulling hair when things don't go his way. Like, he has veggies and meat for a meal and he wants fruit and yogurt. He also is bad when I am dressing him, or if someone else is talking to me. He pinched some poor girl that had my attention and I had to pry his hand off of her. My arms are filled with small scars were he has torn off the flesh. Sigh. He is a sweetie pie 80% of the time but the other 20% he is a demon spawn. I get nasty notes from school and really need to pick your brains. I have seen a clinical psychologist. We did 'hands down' 'soft hands', 25 times in a row with him. After the 25th time, I was crazy, but he touched me softly and said 'soft'. Then of course a few weeks later we lost it. Nick had epilepsy for 15 months and was on such horrible medications that I am very nervous about putting him on anything. If anyone one has any good info I would love to hear it. Thanks in advance.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Dianna: #1-Is Nick Verbal? Tori acts out too because, although she is verbal, she has Non-Verbal Learning Disability where she-at times-cannot find the words she needs to express herself. This is extremely frustrating for all of us. I, too, have had/and still get them- several scratch marks and bruised limbs. She is still in pull-ups and is entering 1st grade. She shows alot of aggressive behaviors as well when she wants attention. She, too, has hit/scratched/pinched/kicked some kids in her classroom as well. Two peas in a pod, like alot of our kids are-I would say. We use Time-Out (when it works it is great) and I also threaten to take something away...for instance, if she asks for something specific-I will tell her to behave or no whatever she asked for. Don't think this is going to be much help..but wanted to let you know you are not alone! Liz-Mom to Tori 6 1/2 yrs. Liz- Agressive behavior Hello, is 6 years old.
