[QUOTE="mum2JK&TH, post: 117266, member: 1784"] I don't have a ton to offer but wanted to welcome you. My son plays hockey and to be honest, it has been a savior. We have always been able to use this as his confidence builder and it's something he's good at. I have to say, dropping the gloves, especially at his age, isn't really surprising. Mind you this is coming from a mum who's 10 yr old got two 2 min. penalties for roughing and he's the goalie. I have to agree with you that taking it away isn't a good idea. If it's something he's good at and he enjoys, I would encourage it. Not to mention if he's in competitive, it eats up so much of their free time. I would maybe suggest seeing if his coach would set something up to help you though. Benching him for missed school or bad behaviors, suspending him for a few games, more severe punishments for use of drugs, ect. Unfortunately where we are, they never have the same coach season to season so I'm not sure what kind of relationship you have with his coach. I'm not sure how the hospitals work in Montreal but I know CHEO was helpful with us in the past when difficult child wasn't stable. I am guessing his age is making some things more difficult. We also went through the Royal Ottawa and they had a ton of resources for us. I don't remember though how it worked with the health cards there. I hope it works out with the YP. Completely off topic but is that your horse on your avatar? [/QUOTE]
