my child has turned aggressive | ADHD Information

Have you had her evaluated? What does the pediatrician say? How about teachers?

If there is a global developement, do you think there is something more specific they can target in on ?

Our pediatrician gave us that when my son was being tested for autism due to having a speech delay. He wasn't but it just gave him some type of a diagnosis.

I would have another evaluation done by a pediatric neurologist. This way you can set her up with a IEP or 504 plan, if she doesn't already have it, as well as services to help her learn!!

The behavior could be ahd or something else, get her evaluated!!

Please let us know how things are going!!

Hi there i am very confused and becoming upset, run down and about to lose my rag. My 5 year old screams, kicks slams doors, and yells horrible stuff likw im firing you, i feel so sorry for her cause i dont know what is going on for her, however i tell her to go to her bedroom because she is irrational i go and see her in about a minute and we talk things out. but i am still mad at her is this normal for me to feel like this and is this normal for her to be doing this?

she has gobal development delay of a 3 to 4 yr old.

Yes I think it's normal for you to feel this way. I mean...we're only human after all right?

It can be so difficult to keep sane when your child is having problems like that. I know my son used to act like that and I was so ignorant to all this ADHD stuff. I used to think my son must be "crazy" or something because he was so irrational! His issues were complicated by sensory integration problems that caused him to panic on a regular basis. His behavior made NO sense at times! But it can get better! My son is 100% better now. The correct diagnosis is critical! and then if it's ADHD I believe the correct medication is also critical. Good luck and hang in there!

A global development delay is a general term used to describe a condition that occurs between birth and 18 months old. There are significant limitations in communication which could account for your child's anger issues. The inability to communicate properly could cause severe frustration and anger. A global development delay is also marked by low intellectual skills which could also account for the child's level of frustration.

What interventions have been recommended to improve on the symptoms to put the child on a path to quality of life? Without proper help the behaviors escalate. The behaviors you describe are very normal for a child who doesn't have the ability to control such behaviors and is not getting the proper interventions to aide in improvement.

Also, children tend to mimic the behavior of others around them as well as act out when they don't know how to verbally communicate properly. This is a very tough and frustrating situation for all concerned. Speak to a professional asap in terms of getting your child a treatment plan tailored to her needs. Only a professional can advise you in terms of the tools needed to really help your child made positive strides in life and age 5 is a good age to start. Good luck and please keep us posted.

is there any sleep disturbance.

a change in bedtime or someting . even though slleep seems like a minor issue its a bi differece if there int enough.

with school starting soom mornings can be rush rush rush. got back up the bed time to make room for crancky kid to call down before school.

I also use an approach to the environment to my DD to tranition with evening ino night.

i start by turning off all lights except for bed area and once in there . i dim the light.

then as i little time passes i quit talking

only nods and hand gstures the ocasional whisper.

she tries to come out but i say nothing. i point to nothing .

i just take back to bed -

i do nothing stimulating.

----------------------

also its inevitable that this approach fails . so i look for causes

right kind of snack?

not enough play?

too much stimulis from noise or light?

playing to close to bed time.

nervouse about tomorrow.

not feeling well.

just plain more tired than awake but still walkin and talkin.

i do put a emphasis an bed times story cause she's 6.

at this age we take turns reading and spelling.

routine is key at my home. without it i get have a mini me on my heels the next day tired and cranky after school
