First let me give you some back ground. DS( 6 1/2 years old) is a very spirited child I'm sure if I took him to be tested they would say he is ADHD no doubt in my mind. He has a hard time with controlling himself, he is very hyper, doesn't think things through before he acts, etc..... He has had some behavior problems at school but I'm pretty happy with how the teachers handle things, he has also had problems on the bus but has been doing really well until the last few weeks. He just got kicked off the bus for 3 days for being rude to the driver. He is very sensitive and usually reactive with aggression, but can be very sweet most of the time. He goes through times of being really good and then his behavior will go down hill and things will get bad again. I just had baby number 4 a month ago so things are a bit off at home and I'm working at getting everything back to normal but it has effected his behavior.<br><br>
If anyone is still reading, here it the new problem. I've noticed that DS is pulling out his hair. I've only seen him do it a few times maybe 3 or 4 times. He wraps his fingures around a clump of hair and pulls. At first I just asked what he was doing and I can't even remember his answer. Itold him not to do it again. Then I saw him doing it in the car on the way to school today and I made it really clear that it wasn't go to do that and he needed to stop. i'm planning on looking closely at his hair tonight to see if he's making bald spots.<br><br>
I'm getting freaked out, why is he doing this and does anyone have experience with something like this? Should I call the dr. or wait a while to see if he does it anymore? I know DH and I need to make more one on one time for him and we'll start working on that, but what else should I do?
