I have a feeling the pediatrician is going to tell you something irritating like "Little Johnny is just fine, you are just an overly concerned parent." Oh I got that talking to a few times. In the end, we had developmental issues that we are still dealing with......a Mom knows when somethings not right.

I am at my wit's end as well....
I have 2 girls (ages 7 & 3). They are at eachother all day long,from the moment they wake up until it is time to go to bed.
I have absolutely had it and nothing that I seem to say,do ,take away,etc... has worked.
It is as though there is no emotion connected with anything,they just honestly seem to have no respect for one single thing that I say or do.

This morning it started because they couldn't agree on what morning tv show they wanted to watch (Disney or Noggin) so the tv got shut off,this was at 6:45am-great say to start the day.
It has continued on from there and I have now taken away our planned day at the pool.
They really seem to not care about that either.
They have been sent to their rooms (which I am completely against doing,I use it as a last resort) and they aren't listening to that either.
They are coming out of their rooms continuously with "I have to tell you something" or other ridiculous reasons..... other than turning the door handles around on their doors,I have no idea how to keep them in their rooms.
We don't spank them and are running out of ways that discipline them.

UGH!
