[QUOTE="Andy, post: 236628, member: 5096"] Is your difficult child on medications? When my son was prescribed Clonazapem for anxiety, it became a disinhibitive. He became very mean. He lost all his friends and none of the kids liked him because they could not trust him. He did threaten revenge when he thought he was being slighted or just because he thought someone was breaking a rule. Once we took him off that medication, the meaness dissappeared. One student who didn't want to return to our small school because my difficult child would be there this year, stated that difficult child was back to what he was like in 4th grade. He has his friends back. Talk to your difficult child's doctor to see if medications he is on could do this. You can also google the medication for side effects. As for hands on ways to help diminish the bullying? I am not sure. With my difficult child I tried to stay patient while dealing with it. I think if you display too much anger, it will be seen by your difficult child that you are using your physical strength to control him so he thinks he can use his physical strength to control others. You need to figure out how to reach him without him thinking you are punishing him. Try coming at this from a little bit different tactic. Ask your difficult child - How did you feel before you did that action? Do you like that feeling? Can we find ways for you to react without being mean or rude? What can you do to avoid those feelings? Maybe walk away? This may take the focus off his results of bullying actions and back onto finding out what happened. I hope this makes sense, instead of,"Why did you........ Did you know you can hurt............" try "How did you feel just before you.........." Take it back a step from when you would normally start the conversation about the event. [/QUOTE]
