Feeling Down

[Guest guest]

Hi, my son used to walk up to others and sort of punch them on the arm,

etc. Got on others' nerves after a while, that he always did that. One kid was

feeling like he would maybe punch if he did it " one more time. " He was

just getting tired of it. So I heard about it. And I talked to about

it, more than once. It was something he had to work on NOT doing, trying to

remind himself not to do it, etc. Oh, he didn't quit right away, it took time

for it to become " habit " not to. So your son can pick one or two impulses he

has and wishes he would stop and try to work on it/them. We all (parents too)

have some habits, impulses, etc., we try to change at times in our lives.

That's normal!

Sigh, growing up is so hard!

wants to first hit in the back another kid. The kid turned around and started

punshing him. I was not there so I am just going by what he said to me when I

went looking for him and he came out of a dark room. I knew something was up.

has to touch others and hit. That he cannot controlled himself; he does not

deserve friends; he is bad and he
