Don't know what else to do

Am at the end of my tether honestly can't cope anymore.

My ds is 7.5 and had recently been diagnosed with dyspraxia. He is getting the relevant therapy and is doing good with that.

However we are getting nowhere with behaviour. He can't make or sustain friendships which breaks my heart for him. He has a few pals at school but not one in the area we live that he can go out and play with. He alienates any child he gets close to with his behaviour and attitude to the point where the other parents in the street don't talk to us as a family now.

On holiday it was one fight after another to the point he got asked to leave kids club. He has an issue with the world and a huge chip on his shoulder. I have tried everything I just don't know what to do.

Tonight was the straw that broke the camels back, he was at his sports class he has been referred to and had fights with 2 kids and then I believe was an accident kicked another in the face.

I just don't know what to do. I have watched any friendships he had slowly drift away when their parents see what he is like.

I adore my child and at home he is the sweetest most loving child, he is our world. But to other people he is "that kid" the one always in and creating trouble.

What the hell do I do to help him because I am lost

So sorry you and your DS are going through this Willis. Does he have any agencies working with him?

Thanks for responding. He is having occupational therapy and has just been referred to cahms. I just watch the wee boys out playing football and having fun and so wish he would or could join in and play with kids.

Have you spoken to the SENCO at school? Schools can teach social skills too, he might benefit from this sort of intervention.

Is there a long waiting list for camhs? How does he get on at school?
