GM, I wanted to confirm that calc carb was definately the right choice far my son.
He is still very peevish and quick to fly off the handle, still alternating (today) with the "lovey dovey" behavoir towards me. He is also still mean to his dad when i'm around. He also still complains about his tummy hurting.
The reason i'm so encouraged is that i spoke with his teacher today. She has told me that in class he is usually very "pent up" and will not show how he truly feels. Many times he won't even speak. He has also painted so hard on his paper that he put a hole in it and kept on going, she thought that he was acting out frustration by painting so hard.
Today however, she observed that he was having to deal with his feelings , things that frustrated him in a more open way. She said that she felt she was observing the real him for the FIRST TIME. He has been with her for 2 years 3 mornings a week.
She had to step in and intervene a few times, but she saw that as positive, he tried to be nearly invisable before, mouth closed tightly.
He is saying things at home like "i'm going to rip up your books" speaking of destroying things that he knows we love, and talking about how things are going to "kill " him, such as eating his green vegetables.
Still very persistant in his negativity, will still repeat the same phrase over and over
If only we can have the strength to be patient with him while he goes through this re-wiring, or unveiling.
I will need to know how to follow up with this, as the need arises. For now i know to wait for a while to see what happens
Anyways, thank you for your help , please reply if you want to.
K stClaire
