My 9 year old son has so much going for him. He's from a caring supportive family, he has a lovely personality, school supports him, he's a member of a football team, he's a fantastic swimmer but he seems so unhappy with everything and kicks against it all. It is getting to the point where I see no point in doing anything nice with him because his aggressive behaviour and negative attitude sour everything. A few weeks ago he was excluded from school because of his aggression and this week he ran away from home because he didn't like the way he was being disciplined. He has started some counselling but I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO to help him. I feel totally bewildered and am not used to being in this sort of situation. Before he was born I used to believe that the most important things for a child were to have someone who loves them, believes in them and allows them to have a happy time but that is not working for him and I just don't know what else I can give or do.
