Suggest Treatment For Controlling Behavioral Changes
I have a 9 year old daughter who for years has been lashing out and hitting me, throwing things and shows no remorse, she has just been hitting me on head while I was driveing because I didnt stop to get a DVD. I have had counselling for both of us, seen paediatricians and she is now undergoing sandplay therapy. Am at my wits end as she is getting bigger and stronger and extremely physical towards me and do not know what to do
Hi dear, you need to consult psychiatrist rather then pediatrician. your child is physical towards you only or others also? she is extremely stubborn as described by you. you need behavior therapy and if needed medication also. for that detailed history and examination is necessary. hows her child hood, family environment etc? is there any other signs and symptoms she have? Thank you
