Sometimes it's medical...
Here goes the mother and nurse in me...
DD(8) (an extremely docile child at that point) was about 4 or 5 when she began having violent behaviors at no certain times - very sporadic - She would yell, kick, scream and call people horrible names. It turned out she had hypoglycemia (her blood sugar levels would drop to 30's and 40's esp. 2-3 hours after she had eaten-worse around noon or early afternoon.)
Hypoglycemia is not a diagnosis the pediatricians use but after testing our ped. said she def. had it -(so does my mother and I)(hereditary?)
Anyway - now we are very conscious of her needs and meals - her teachers are aware and we always have a snack with us or in here backpack - We hardly ever have a problem anymore! I'm glad wew found it before she started school!
I'm sure your new darlings issue is deeper b/c of post trauma but thought ya'll might like to know my story
Best of luck!
Yes - I love to talk - wish I could type faster!!!!!
