[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As kids get bigger, aggressive behavior becomes a bigger problem.  Practically speaking, you get to the point where you can't protect yourself and your other kids because they are physically more powerful than you.  Further, an aggressive person has far more strength and power when agitated than they would have otherwise, which makes control far more difficult.  I agree that you need to get help and do it now.  Also, you might want to consider how you are going to protect yourself and your other kids until your son's behavior is under control - things like locks on your other kids' bedroom doors so they have a place to escape.

I spent a lot of my career working with aggressive kids and teens.  It can get scary really fast.  [/quote]

I agree with this.  I would also ask the counselor to recommend someone who can teach you how to hold him immobilized when he gets violent.  No, it's not something that a parent should do with a child who isn't acting violent, but when it comes down to you needing to protect yourself and your other children, an immobilizing hold for the violent child is less likely to hurt you or that child.[/quote]
