Kids with low impulse control are really difficult -- and it may last
throughout his life or not. One thing to do is to ask him to be really
conscious of how he's feeling inside during the seconds right before he
lashes out. Get him really aware of the feelings, even though for him they
build up really quickly. Get him to articulate them -- naming them really
really helps, just in itself, because he can SAY them outloud.

Try reading, ICPS --- Marilyn Shure -- I Can Problem Solve. It'll give you a
lot of really concrete ideas for this kind of thing.

Thanks so much Pam. The books I've tried so far did not apply. I never heard
of this one. I'll check it out.

Pam could you tell us more about ICPS --- Marilyn Shure -- I Can Problem
Solve? It is not in either of my nearby library collections - so if it
is very useful I could recommend it.
