[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 616980, member: 1550"] You have gotten good advice. Just have a questions: Where his very early years chaotic? Was he adopted? Did he see you to through a contentious divorce and have a new stepfather come in during his formative years? Any psychiatric illnesses on either side of his DNA tree, even if he has never seen his father(he still carries his DNA). The most common reasons for a young child to act antisocial are attachment issues and most psychologists don't understand it yet unless most of their young patients are adopted at older ages than birth. That's why I asked if he had early disruptions in his parenting and life during his first three years in which his developing brain is like a sponge. Any abuse? Adopted kids are more prone to attachment disorder, but it is happening more and more with youngsters who have to live through the loss of a parent through divorce, especially if they are mistreated or have many caregivers in those early years. Here is a link about attachment spectrum disorder to see if it rings true. This link is very positve, however, untreated or misdiagnosed attachment problems can lead to adult psychopathology. Do not worry yet. Your kids are very young and could get a lot of help. medications however do not help if it is attachment disorders. They can blunt the behaviors, but not stop the big picture. The kids would need therapy IF this is what is going on. You'd need a therapist or psychologist who deals with this disorder in order for the professional to recognize it though.
