[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 108172, member: 3626"] One thing that stuck out was your son saying no one believed him. Sadly, he may be right on target on that one. It is very common for our kids to be picked on to the breaking point. The other kids think it is funny when the odd child gets in trouble. This happened time after time with my daughter. Like yours, mine was a thrower -- up to and including her desk all the way across the room. One thing that did help was having her sit by the teacher. Not so much to stop her behavior but to stop the torment by the other kids. This still left her vulnerable at recess and lunch times but at least it stopped the whispered comments, the hitting her chair as the other kids walked by and the like. If she complained, the teacher would not believe it was happening. Talk to your son. Try to find out what is happening in class to cause his outbursts. You may discover it is not all his fault even though he needs to learn that his reaction is not acceptable. The one thing I would suggest is that if you get him on medications and you find they do make a difference, get him into a different class if at all possible. It will give him a chance to start over with kids who haven't seen his disruptive behavior (although they may have heard about it). [/QUOTE]
