We found sports and not just any but track ad field-he loves to run so we put that energy into the sport and he does so much better when he is involved- I encourage you to find a sport- a group -anything your child may be interested in-computers- puzzles- bike riding- etc figure out what they like and go from there-
Once you find their niche encourage them to participate and also it is a privilege. Good behavior allows them to be a part of the privilege-bad choices a brief time away from privilege- last year my son was not acting the way he should and he was allowed to go to the track meet yet had to sit and watch- he was not happy but that was the last meet he missed from running-
make sure you let the coaches or instructors know about your child and what you deal with and how they can help- this was one of the greatest things I do and I let the coach know daily or weakly how my so is doing- he pulls him aside each time good or bad of what I tell him and talks with him- the extra person is great and reinforces what you are trying to teach your child
Encourage your child to find something they like- we did and we have an extra support group our track family- share your story people do care
