[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 558976"] You might want to consider having him evaluated by a good child psychiatrist or PhD level Child Psychologist. I don't know how you feel about medications but punishing him for impulsivity and/or hyperactivity isn't going to help. He can't help it and no talking in the world is going to stick either. Without something to slow down his brain, he CAN'T think straight. Sometimes even a small dose of something can help. I would hate for him to continue to get into trouble at school for something he can't control. It will only end up damaging his self-esteem and could lead to where I have been, with a school that does all they can to make the child leave, smart or not. Does the school have a social skills group? You might want to check into that so he's hearing the "rules" from people other than you and that are associated with the school where the issues are happening. Sorry I can't offer you more. You are doing the best you can with what you have. With kids like ours, we most always have to think outside the box. [/QUOTE]
