Best of luck, let me know if you try any of the sports, or maybe even boy scouts as an outlet, I really think it can help

I agree with the crucial time period before puberty sets in.... as I have raised my own two boys, men now - 24 & 19 so I know what the teen years are like (and) that's why I have been after my niece to do some thing about it now before it gets harder as he grows up.... hence the counseling starting this week.

Mom has been looking into tae-kwon-do as soon as she is able to set some money aside.... keeping my fingers crossed on that one.

My husband and I are trying to do what we can (have been for the last two years) and yet we also want to educate our niece on rearing her boys properly so she may learn in order to take better control of her own household.

Thanks for listening......
