[quote=Anonymous]You (or Dad, or a therapist) need to give him strategies to deal with unpleasant emotions so he isn't acting volatile and turning friends off. If he has annoying habits, don't sugarcoat it at home. "[Doing X] is hurting my ears, please stop or do that in your room." Have him spend time with a loving adult role model who is not a parent. Aunt or uncle or grandparent, etc. Good influences who don't have the bias of living in the home are great. Outdoor play goes a long way in managing kids' moods and impulsive behavior. Get him in an unconventional activity -- theater, dance, horseback riding, archery, whatever. Even the "weird kid" can find their tribe that way. I was one of them![/quote]
