Impulsive Child
Our 6 year old son has always been a bit reactive when things don't go his way. It has been a concern for a couple of years and we have considered getting therapy. He just entered kindergarden, we had our first parent teacher conference. We figured his techer would get a good view of his behavior and could provide some suggestions. The teacher described his behavior as impulsive, but said she could not diagose a specific problem. After doing some research we found that the term "impulsive" has a very specific meaning. I would agree based on those meaninngs that our son is impulsive - now what to do about it. We decided to first try a workbook called Stop and Think by Philip Kendal 1992. It looks like it addresses the core element of his probelm. I will update you on our progress.

Your pediatrician can give you a lot of good advice about this; you should talk to the doc! -- Dad of 2, married to a pediatrician!
Please read Spirited Child by Mary Sheedy Kurcinka or Difficult Child by Stanley Turecki. These books were very helpful in my quest to figure out my son who is 5 now and will attend a regular Kindergarten in the fall. His is currently enrolled in a 12:1:2 pre-K class and is doing wonderful.
