[QUOTE="Malika, post: 434944, member: 11227"] Hello and welcome. Many hugs and much understanding for your situation :-) Is there any history of ADHD in your family? Not that we know that that is what is going on with your boy but... seems a possibility. Lack of impulse control. Mind you, even this is complex. My son has ADHD (I think!) but he rarely if ever goes up to someone and hits or hurts them for no reason. So I wonder what is going on there? And then... you say that the son you had expected to have no problems at school was the one who did; this implies that before he started school there were no particular behavioural problems with this boy? Could it be something extraneous to him, not a disorder of some kind but related to his intelligence or the school?? If the problems really all started with school that's where I would be looking first, I think. Others may put me right on that! And I SO much understand about behaving like a small child yourself in relation to him... yes you do need to inform yourself as much as possible and adapt your parenting. Knowledge is power! What is your next move? Do you have appointments and evaluations scheduled? I think the school ringing you all the time is a nightmare - very stressful. Sounds like there needs to be some more formal diagnosis in place and the understanding and accommodations that go with it.... You've come to a good place - lots of understanding people and support here. [/QUOTE]
