Hello
I am a single father of a 7 year old boy. My long-term girlfriend is helping me raise my son as well. We reside in Calgary, Alberta.
I got full custody 3 years ago and before that he was bouced around abit. It must have been very hard on him. He may have seen and experienced bad things at a very early age. His Mom at the time was very troubled.
He is having aggressive behavior problems at kids form school, after-school care and at friends houses. He tends to bully younger kids and if he dosen't get his way then he acts abruptly and can't control his anger.
He has been sent to the principles office (he attends a catholic sepreate school) several times last year and has hit other kids numerous times. He was described by his teacher as, "The ring leader."
The start of this year is off to a bad start once again. I am interested in getting him further help to combat his aggressive behavior. I have health coverage for therapists and couselors through Sunlife.
What kind of therapists and types of treatments are the best for my son?
Any tips or advice would greatly be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
