[quote=Anonymous]I've got a 14 year old who sounds much like your kid. I will second the recommendation for seeing a psychiatrist for meds, plus starting a program of CBT or something similar. While you are on the hunt for a therapist, you might try reading THE EXPLOSIVE CHILD or LOST AT SCHOOL, both by Ross Greene. You can also take a look at his website: www.livesinthebalance.org. Personally, I found his work invaluable: it will get you to identify the lagging skills and unresolved problems that underlie some of your son's behavior. Here's the thing: an 11 year old is going into MS, where the academic challenges--and the potential triggers for problematic behavior--are just going to escalate. So be strong: you CAN give your son the support he needs, though it is not easy, by any means.[/quote]
