ADHD and Anger- Help for Impulse Control
My son has ADHD and he has a lot of trouble with impulse control and with dealing with frustration. When he was little we taught him to hit a pillow when he was angry because this was better than having him smash things or hit people. Now he is 15 and he is 6 foot 2 and he is getting to a size that when he starts hitting pillows and yelling and cursing he is starting to scare people around that do not know him. He needs to learn a new way to handle frustration but he does not learn new things easily and he has a lot of trouble handling his impulses. I do not want to make him stop with something that works unless he can learn something better first. What should we do and is there someone that can help us with this?
