[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 210660, member: 3444"] Well, I would have reservations about boxing as well. I also agree that it's important for a kid to find something they are good at and ENJOY. Did he ever try one of the martial arts? There's a lot more self-discipline and control involved there, which could help with the impulsive anger. Many therapists I've talked to have recommended Tai Kwon Do or something similar for kids with impulse control issues for this reason. difficult child 2 is giving basketball a try right now. He's not the fastest kid, but he's trying his best and having fun. That's all I care right now (and remind my husband about this as well when he starts in at critiquing). I wouldn't worry about the island issue at school if it's not bothering difficult child. My difficult child 2 got to the point where he PREFERRED to be slightly removed from others because he knew it was less distracting and he got more work done that way. Fingers crossed the medication change helps and that it brings him a little bit closer to stability and success in his daily life! [/QUOTE]
