[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 433820, member: 1550"] Hi there. I have to agree with zero tolerance for violence. Also, he needs to be evaluated whether he likes it or not. He is ten years old. He's not the boss, you are, even if he makes that difficult :) How about no evaluation, no sports. Even if he doesn't cooperate with the evaluator, his behavior will cue the professional into what may be going on (I think it sounds different than just ADHD). I would take him for a neuropsychologist evaluation to maybe pinpoint why he has such a fast trigger. He could have hidden d disabilities that only an intensive evaluation will pick up. It's hard to help somebody if you don't know the devil you face. That is especially true if you are considering medication. Medication for WHAT??? A few questions that will help us help you: 1/Any psychiatric or neurological problems on either side of his genetic family tree? This is important since things can be inherited. 2/Does he know how to interact appropriately with his same age peers? Does he get teased? Is HE a bully? Does he hang around with other kids after school? Any family problems? [/QUOTE]
