I have come to wits end with Trip. After going back and fourth with doctors and psychologists, I am still having issues with Trip and have decided to start a journal for him.
He is being treated for ADHD right now (unsuccessfully) but I'm thinking it might be more than that. Bipolar Disorder? Oppositional Defiant Disorder? Conduct Disorder? That's what we're trying to figure out but being only 4 years old makes this very difficult.
There is a great school for him (The Harris School) but unfortunately, it costs a little over $25,000 a year. If you are willing to help, please click the "Donate" button on the right side of the page. If not, that's ok too. You can follow my difficult journey with Trip until we finally figure out what will work.

Trip's First Field Trip
So, today was Trip's first day at his new day care. I though for sure he would be excited because he would get to go on his first field trip. They were going to Chuck E. Cheese so I had no doubt that he would have a blast. Well, turns out I was wrong. He started punching and fighting kids that were there on a field trip with a different school. Their teachers were going up to Trip's teachers asking them to get him under control. Then he ran out of tokens. When he asked for more and they told him that there weren't any more, he got even more upset. He went over to the tables and picked up the heavy glass containers that hold the Parmesan cheese and pepper and started chunking them at people with the intent to hurt them. They grabbed Trip and tried to focus him on cashing in his tickets. Well, when he didn't have enough tickets to get the prize he wanted, he started screaming at the top of his lungs and thrashing about. They grabbed him and took him into the bathroom to calm him down and he ripped the trash can off of the wall. At this point, the staff at Chuck E. Cheese came over and asked the day care to take Trip and leave. The entire school had to leave their field trip because of Trip.
