I seem to have turned into an optimist in the tail end of my life. Maybe he is on the road to being General Patton. Possible?
What about military school?
I am only a little bit being funny. I mean, these are traits that in some circumstances are highly positive.
Command.
Power over.
Influence.
Tenacity.
Aggression.
He has just not found his milieu. Maybe we need to read biographies of famous generals and see how they acted as children.
Maybe if you looked at all of his behaviors and turned them on their head and looked at the potential positive they could develop into, you could help him understand himself better in terms of his potential. And he might be better motivated to work with you guys.
I forget. How does he do in school around other teachers and children?
