[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 495443, member: 1550"] Sounds like family therapy may be best. Everybody is involved and nobody knows what to do, so that's probably what I would do. You may also want to give difficult child a neuropsychologist evaluation to see if there are any hidden issues causing him to act out. Does difficult child have friends at school? Does he know how to MAKE and KEEP friends? Is easy child more popular than difficult child? How about the family dynamics? Is this an intact biological family? A step family? Is husband the biological father? Are there any psychiatric problems of either side of difficult children family tree (genetic)? Lots can be told if you follow the genes. However, I'm not convinced that a lot of this isn't resentment of easy child. As for how to handle it, wouldn't difficult child maybe get even more angry at easy child and pick on him more if he got attention for "good" behavior and difficult child didn't get any? I'm not sure what I'd do for discipline here. It really would depend on everything that is going on. We don't really know much about the family.. You may want to do a signature, like I did below.
