[QUOTE="Jon777, post: 700895, member: 20928"] Very sorry about the difficulties. You might want to think about joining a (real world) support group of other parents of children with similar issues. You could brainstorm with them and also get support. You might also want to think about getting into therapy yourself, as the stresses of raising such a child can be serious enough as to require some level of intervention. And, in therapy, one of the things to discuss would be stress management. In a sense you might want to start creating a "village" to help raise the child, and not take the entire burden on yourself, thus causing huge stresses and problems resulting from that. We all like to think we are superhuman, until we crash and it is proven otherwise. As far as the aggressive behavior is concerned, I would try to find some experts in that specific area and see what they say. For example, are there physical activities that help calm such a child? Is the child getting enough exercise? If otherwise healthy, would long walks help? Would some kind of repetitive activity help calm the mind --- for an adult, one might think about macrame....though I am sure needles and such are not a good idea for the child. Perhaps gardening, well supervised? The idea being that the aggressive behavior is some kind of suppressed desire for more freedom? I don't know... best of luck [/QUOTE]
