Hi I not used this before but I'm really struggling with my 6yo son. After finally getting him into the right school that stress is starting to dial down however recently my son has started to become physically violent again. I don't know how to deal with it ii try my best to stay calm get him somewhere safe despite getting punched, scratched, headbutted and bitten. I know some of his triggers and I try to minimize any problems but sometimes it still happens. Punishment is hard because he doesn't care and will continue to do it again. The worst part is when I see him smiling as he is doing it which makes me think he knows what he is doing and he is enjoying it.
Been waiting for CAHMs to pull there finger out but as the case is everywhere no staff, long waiting lists. Was told to go to a GP but I don't see what they can do.
He has a club but only goes once a month or twice if I'm lucky. The last time he was at club it ended with another physical outburst. I don't want him to get banned as there are barely any other SEND clubs available.
I talk to him about coping mechanisms and things to do when he gets angry but it just goes out the window.
I'm stressed about going to work, getting him ready for school and bedtimes.
Any advice would be much appreciated
