[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 589979, member: 11791"] Mine was older than that when violence started showing up... and it wasn't drugs. It was a difficult child who had been bullied by teachers and classmates for one too many years. It was a difficult child who was at the end of his rope - no cope left, lost that a long time back. Part of it was exhaustion - mental, physical, emotional... he was being hammered on every front. We turned him around - but not until we knew what was driving it. More detailed comprehensive evaluations, more reports, more sub-evaluations (Occupational Therapist (OT), Speech Language Pathologist (SLP)), more of everything, for... the nth time around. You need to find out WHY this is happening. The range of options is huge... Have you ruled out a possible physical cause? (such as a brain tumour, or thyroid problems, for example) Beyond that... there's three main groups of challenges that can show up as violence (that I'm familiar with - there may be others) 1) Mental Illness (depression, bi-polar, etc.) 2) Developmental issues (such as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Aspie) 3) various layers of abuse - for example, if this were (not saying he is) an older adopted child where the normal attachments were not formed in the first three years of life, there may be Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) at work; but in any case there could be abuse by older kids, or by teachers, for example...
