Parenting and other help with ADHD (likely dx) with poor impulse control
DS2 (5.5) is likely heading to an ADHD dx. We are seeing a child psych this weekend. I am going to
- figure out how to get him a full assessment
- figure out if he should stay in Montessori next year or go to the public schools
- figure out what services and help DS needs and how to get it
- figure out what part of this insurance will pay for
AND
I also desparately need some pareting help. DS2 routinely calls everyone in the family names when stressed (stress can mean someone talks when he is talking). He also hits. When he was little it was less of an issue. Today he cold clock slapped me across my face at breakfast at a restaurant because "you interrupeted me mommy" and then was not really very apologetic afterwards. No amount of what I'd call my NORMAL parenting skills work here. I have just started ignoring MOST behavior (not the slapping) but name calling etc. Ignoring seems to be the most productive but man I don't like it. So where do you get parenting help??
Thanks for listening!
