[QUOTE="Vicky age 37, post: 622894, member: 17779"] Well, further to my initial, posts, he has been in further trouble at school for setting light to a girls hair. Not seriously thank god, he singed it. I'm not sure if it is high jinx getting out of hand, or something more sinister. I spoke to my husband about my concerns and really pushed for some professional help. I also suggested that due to him splitting with the mum when he was so young, witnessing arguments and the stress of it, this may be the cause of his behaviour. I think my husband is starting to take this seriously, but he is very 'old school' sometimes, and thinks discipline is the way forward. I do agree to some extent, but he doesn't learn from it. I spoke to the child myself this weekend asking him why, and asking how he felt about his actions. I'm no expert on anything like this, but thought open questions was some way to get some feedback. He has nothing to say in response, even smirked when I asked how he felt that he may not be coming away with us if his behaviour continues. I also asked if he was upset about anything, why he does it, and if he thought speaking to someone outside the family may help, no was the response. I will keep pushing for my husband to speak to the school and arrange some psychiatric help. He is 12 and I stressed how important this is before he is a teen. [/QUOTE]
