here we are again

just wanted to say that really. 5 yr old DS bit someone at school today, and yet again appears to have no idea why he did it or how he was feeling at the time. most of the time I feel we are in limbo. we have no idea why he is manifesting aggressive behaviour like this. Biting is more unusual, it's normally kicking or hitting or pinching another child for seemingly no reason. His paediatrician is particularly useless - we're seeing him again on 1 Feb and if he doesn't have anything useful to say then we're going elsewhere (although it's pretty impossible to change paediatricians here). We are waiting on a report from speech, language & communication (he has no problems with speech & language in either English or Welsh, but has social communication problems) so that his school can refer him to an educational psychologist - but oh the waiting! it could well be months before we see anyone. when things aren't going too badly at school I think we get lured into a false sense of security, but then Bam! he does something like this and I feel "uh oh, here we are again". I think we need to go into school and see his teacher and the special needs teacher next week - again! thanks for listening.

I know how frustrating and disappointing it all can be. For what it is worth, 4-5 years old was sort ot the hardest time for my boy. Since then, he has learned to self-regulate and I am better at avoiding triggering him. He is 13, and life is pleasant, if not easy (hormones and all). I hope it will be a stage that will pass for your family as well.

All the best.

That sounds really hard to deal with. My ds is nearly 4 and commonly kicks/hits when in company (though I'm mostly there to intervene before anyone gets hurt). And he has just started biting - hard!!! OUCH!!! It stresses me out in social situations/at the park etc, I can't imagine dealing with it if it happened when I wasn't there and I needed to do so at arm's length. Best of luck to you with your dealings with the school.
