Open Parenting Preschoolers (3-5)

I have a 4 year old, Rickey, who was born February 13, 2005. He is being evaluated for ADHD/Mild Autism on December 29th of this year with the only developmental pediatrician in our area.

Treatments

Child Time-out Not Working

He does not respond to Time Out, it doesn't change his behavior whatsoever.

Education (School) Somewhat Helpful

He goes to Pre-K, but his teacher is not helping whatsoever. She is not patient with Rickey and she is always placing him in time out and singling him out in front of his peers. We are thinking about changing schools, or finding a special needs preschool. We have also contacted the prinicipal and are waiting to see what he has to say about his teacher's way of discipline and teaching my son..

Patience Not Working

It is very hard to be patient with Rickey. He does not listen and there is hardly anything we can do to get him to listen or do what he is told. He constantly repeats himself over and over, and it's very hard to be patient when someone is repeating themself the way he does. He aggravates other people and other kids, they don't want to be around him when he's in a hyper mood.

Love Somewhat Helpful

Its the only thing that I can shower him with so he knows that he is loved when when he cant calm down even when he gets in trouble at school even through his meltdowns and temper tantrums

Open Infidelity

My husband had an affair in October of 2008. It lasted about 5-6 weeks. It was one of the worst times of my life emotionally, mentally, financially, and physically.

I forgave my husband and it hasnt happened again. It took us along time (almost until now, a year later) to get where we are now and for me to fully start to trust him again.
