Just that really. DS has recently ( last 5-6 weeks excluding half term where he was an absolute angel) regressed in his behaviour. Bedtimes, whereas before we're straight forward, are now a battle ground of him constantly finding excuses to come downstairs and have drink/banana/tell me something vital/have a wee etc. last nights particular gem was him calling us in tears because the magazine he shouldn't have been reading in bed had ripped. He is angry, aggressive, rude, defiant etc etc and its getting me down. Our new tactic having sought advice is to ignore bad behaviour and praise good. But what would you do if you need him to get his shoes on for school and he's growling/blowing raspberries (the latter of which he never does, we've always had zero tolerance for that). Consequences have been out aside as that seems to fuel his anger. But how do you discipline if you're going along the 'ignore the bad behaviour' line?

Polter I have just got both of those books, with The Explosive Child on its way too which you recommended in a previous post, so will get stuck in to them. I found the forward to Too Loud very sad: 'it is very confusing…to spend so much effort being afraid to be touched…when it is touching that I need the most' Hmm

What diagnosis does your DS have?

Hothead - a statutory assessment of his needs - would that be what we've got in Sept? He was referred by school's ed psych who has observed him twice and had a meeting with us three times. It's being done by CAMHS. There are so many 'terms' that its quite confusing when you're first starting out.

The referral is to SDT social development team. So I need to clarify if that's medical or educational. I assumed one assessment would fit both. Gosh they do make it difficult don't they Hmm
