Violence in Children - HELP!

[Gigi]

wow EarlyKids, my heart goes out to you, that must be so heartbreaking to watch. You love them both, you understand the why but obviously want to protect your DS2.

what is PDD-NOS? Is is something on the Autism Spectrum (as Lulu alluded to?).

sounds like it's very hard to keep them separate, you poor thing.

you're trying to get help, you're doing what you can. i really hope it DOESN"T take DS2 getting seriously injured, before you get some proper help for DS1 (I imagine long waiting lists etc, to try to get help).

God you poor thing, I def wouldn't be a strong enough woman to deal with that. Big hugs.

Sounds petty, but have you tried some hardcore diet changes? I've heard good things about the Failsafe diet and trying no preservatives, artificial colours, less processed foods, wheat, dairy, sugar etc...I think it's a lot of trial and error but I've heard that sometimes it makes a world of difference to the modd of the child in question.

Oh Sally I can understand the fear of the little one getting hurt. Ds2 does the same thing and its hard to know what the heck to do about it when they dont understand like they should. I hope someone gives you some help soon.

We have looked at diet, for another reason (stomach/bowel issues), and we are so far dairy-free, which cuts out a lot of things including biscuits, crackers, cereals etc as we have had to cut out ALL dairy for DS2. I don't buy things with added sugar and don't add suagr to foods so without those two we don't have a whole lot of processed foods. However we are still having a bit of wheat in the diet. I need to get to the next town over to buy more spelt/rye flour to make our bread again lol. We've been eating white bread since just before Christmas because I ran out.

Thanks guys x It is so hard because they obviously love each other and playing together, but seeing DS1 snap like like is really scary. We have an appointment with OT and Speech on Tuesday, I hope they can help.

Yeah it is on the spectrum.
