[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 150591, member: 1550"] Why do you think there's nothing wrong with him? Have you ever had him evaluated? Here are a few questions that can help us try to help you. 1/How old is he and how was his early development? Did he talk on time, make good eye contact, interact normally with peers, potty on time, have no problems with transitions, play with toys the right way? 2/Are there are mood disorders or substance abuse on either side of his biological family tree. Psychiatric disorders are inherited. Substance abuse is a big red flag for mood disorders. Spoiled kids do not necessarily act out at all--they just expect material things, but don't break windows if they don't get their way. 3/Has he been evaluated recently by, at best, a neuropsychologist or, as a second best, a Child Psychiatrist (with the MD). You may want to do a signature like I have below. Kids who act very out-of-the-box usually have disorders, sometimes serious, that need attention and normal methods of parenting do not work with these kids. However, that does not make them "bad"--just wired differently. I strongly suggest a neuropsychologist evaluation, especially if the family genetic pool is problematic, but even if not. His behavior is far, far from a typical child, even if he's a teen. Others will come along too with other advice. I would purchase "The Explosisve Child" by Ross Greene as a starting point, but I'd still schedule that neuropsychologist appointment. ASAP. Often it can take several months to get in, because NeuroPsychs are in demand--they do good jobs of diagnosing. If there is nothing wrong, they'll tell you. [/QUOTE]
