[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 713320, member: 1550"] Ok. There are no simple answers. If it was that easy, nobody would be here. Just like if calling the police stopped violence in school there wouldnt be any fights, but they do that now and it doesnt matter to certain kids. I wonder if he was ever taken to either a neuropsychologist (this is a highly trained paychologist with extra training in the brain) or a group of pediatric specialists at, say, a university clinic? These are the best resources for a good, thorough evaluation that can help you get to the bottom of all that may be different in your child. Obviously he has much less srlf control than most kids and may benefit from interventions. But you need to know what is really wrong first. Testing intensively was very helpful to our son and many kids. This in my opinion is not a parenting issue and ypur son is not a "brat." He is wired differently. You probably already tried consequences. If not try them first. Most of our kids that bring us here do not change due to consequences. In fact that can cause a rage and broken things. I have a great book recommendation besides urging a thorough evaluation..."The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene is a wonderful resource. No easy answer, but wish you the best! [/QUOTE]
