Good! You noticed that. That's a good start.

Yes, please come back and let us know how things are going.

Welcome to the Gentle Discipline forum. I support you in your desire to find other (non-violent) ways to reach your son.

What about talking to your son's school councilor to try to get some ideas? The books already listed on this thread are great resources as well. And a parenting class could be very helpful.

Please don't hesitate to post here anytime. There's a great community of parents here who can provide help and support.

Good luck!

ETA I've gotten so much good advice here when I've posted about very specific problems and had the parents here brainstorm ideas. Please come back and post about specific issues as much as you like.
