Help 6 year old wild man.?

My 6 year old is really trying my patients along with the patients of other adults he comes into contact with. I have tried almost everything. He is disruptive in school, and at martial arts. At home he is distructive and hateful. I have tried the soft spoken approch, the you listen know approch, and the heavy strick disiplain approch. We have even talked to the doctor and No he's not ADD or ADHD. They say he's just a boy. I find it hard to believe that most boys are this hard. So now I am at the end of my rope and the only form of disipline Left that I know is Marine Corp. Style.


As an exmarine I know this form well, but I am reluctant to use it. So my question is do you think it would me inappropriate to use military style disipline to correct the horrible behavior of a child?


For those who are unfilmilar with this form it is loud and very physically demanding. I don't even know if push ups and running will stop his bad behavior. Do you think this might work or do you have any ideas

if you have tried everything else and dr's dont seem to help then go for it. more parents need to use that style in my opinion. maybe there wouldnt be so much crap going on with kids these days. I know i spank my kids and they use their manners. i have also slapped the crap out of them at age six when they tried my patients in front of other people and every time i have gotten a good for you mom!!
Reply:If that's the only thing left to do well then it seems like you have no other choice. My little cousin was like that and they put him in that military school. He's like 11 now and I don't think they have too many problems with him anymore. Well good luck with whatever you decide
Reply:We had this problem with my son, he used to get into fights all the time, fighting with teachers and throwing furniture around at school, walked out a few times and went for his best mate with a sword- we tried all sorts including 3 full terms of anger management which didn't work at all, it turned out to be due to food allergies but it took 4 years to get results through doctors etc. Now he is fantastic as long as he watches what he eats.


Try taking note of what he is eating and how his behaviour is afterwards, start taking out things which seem to trigger him. In my son's case it turned out to be wheat based foods and certain sweets (especially haribo or skittles) if he has any of these you generally see the effect very soon after.


If it is caused by allergies like this he really can't help himself.


Good luck.
