So our new home specialist came today. He arrived on time and the little man immediately took to him. He has not taken that fast to any of the people we have met through the Children's Center. They did a lot of talking and a lot of practice breathing. It is the deep belly breathing as a tool to use when he is feeling anger taking over. The great thing about it is, it is exactly the same strategy the school psychologist has been working with him on. Hopefully if he keeps practicing he will remember to use it when he actually needs it.
We also saw the psychiatrist this morning and got a prescription. He starts that tomorrow night. A few kids have a bad reaction and we wanted that to be at home if it happens, not school. We go back in two weeks, assuming everything is fine, and then the dosage gets upped a bit and that will start showing us if it is working for him.
