I'm looking at getting my son a new pediatrician in the macomb county area that specialized with kiddos on the spectrum. My son current ped I love dont get me wrong but hes not been very helpful with tips/trick for helping me with my son, and won't give any medicine to help either with the hyperactiveness lack of sleep until hes evaluated. He wont be evaluated until sometime in nov give or take a few months.
I have tryed Melatonin, I have elminated naps unless hes sick, I put him to bed at 8 or 9pm. I do have a tv in our room, and normally turn it on with adult things like a cooking show or DIY show. I'm… read more

Help my ex wont give my son his meds on the weekends or vacation time he has him. so my son goes days without it and comes home more upset and violent with his sisters and me. I have try to talk to his father about making sure that he gets it but got told that he can give it to himself which the doctor says no because of where he is on the spectrum. I have tired talking to DFCS where I live and got told they cant do anything because I have the child most of the time. What else can I do because… read more
It is a form of negligence called medical negligence, I believe, for a parent to not give meds. I’m shocked that DCFS won’t do anything! CPS? My ex is the same but my child is only on meds when she is… read more
You can try k12.com if you haven’t already done so. I’m assuming you have used this site or something similar.
My 7yr old daughter has pain due to a dental infection.
Her Dentist is prescribing Amoxicillin to help with the infection and Motrin or advil for the pain.
Is there any liquid natural alternative antibiotics recommended?
When ever possible I like to go the more natural holistic approach .
Thanks
If your child has an infection then an antibiotic medication to kill the bacteria is needed. Using natural/herbal/homeopathic remedies that make claims but have no scientific evidence will put your… read more
I see other kids want a drivers license, hunting license, buying things related to their hobbies etc and taking steps to do it. Mine says she wants to drive but won't open the book, wants her HS diploma but won't do the work etc. I am very goal oriented so this is very hard to wrap my mind around.
Yes. And the “breaking things down” into just the first step, and doing that, then talking about the 2nd step and doing that, and so on, is great advice.
My 5 year old son has started to say vulgar language that I don't use.He likes to watch youtube and this where he's getting it from. How can I HV him stop in a way that he understands and not just fear the consequence of it being said.
Unfortunately we live in a computer age. Growing up, my mom would just take away his movies that had any language in it. That's where he would pick it up from.

In preparation for our IEP meeting to set up next years plan I reviewed my son's IEP and progress notes. At the beginning of March, he is nowhere near meeting any of his goals, in fact a couple of the goals he regressed or showed no progress after the first 4 week grading period. I've had a couple of meetings with the team regarding his behavior issues and them "setting him up for failure" in certain situations. We had the SSD psychiatrist do a consultation in March giving his recommendations… read more
