Parenting Teenagers (12-18) Support Group
This community is focused on the joys, challenges and concerns faced by parents of teenagers (12 to 18 year olds). The major areas of child development include: physical development, perception and sensory development, communication and language development, cognitive development, emotional development and social development.
In an ideal world this young man would have started some sort of treatment when he was young and be well into it now. It doesn't happen like that. I hope somehow the situation gets better for him. I'm glad you care.
Keep being who you are, your someone who is aware, who cares and sees clearly. The world needs people like you.
Point being, if he has a hyper activity problem (you didn't specify what he had, so I assumed), see if you can get him signed up doing things he likes to do to get out some of that extra energy.
You did handle that situation admirably. My son also jumped out of a moving vehicle at one point, thank God we were on a dirt driveway and not moving very fast.
There is a website that has been very helpful to me it's called conductdisorders.com they call it a soft place for battle weary parents/friends to land and it is.
