i think i rambled so much it got confusing...
my 8 year old is the hyper one that whistles alot and gets sent home. my own litl energizer bunny so to speak. generally a happy kid just has wayyyyy toooooo much energy for one litl person.
my 11 year old is the one that is mean to his younger brother. as well as his older sister and others as well. he can be nice at times and polite and his mood swings can switch at the blink of an eye. he can go from being sweet to throwing things across the house to crying like an infant wishing he was dead. it breaks my heart because i dont know how to help him. he doesnt like being told what to do by anybody really. he just has so much anger inside and has the hardest time expressing it in a positive way. he hates school.
when he was younger he was a headbanger and as he got older he would hit and kick the walls and put holes in them and put his fist through a window when he was seven. now i dont know of this behavior fits a bipolar diagnosis or what but i would sure like to know so i can get on the right path to help him out.
thanks again and i gratefully accept any and all advice.
