My son is 6 years old and out of control, what can I do to help him. He got pulled from his original school as he was falling behind his classmates and being very disruptive and rude. He got put into a special class where he does all the same work but he has more support, he still acts out worse than ever screaming, kicking and banging his head against the walls. He gets punished for his behaviour but it does not seem to phase him it's like he doesn't even care if he has anything or nothing. What can I do?

It sounds like your child may have ADD or ADHD and I am surprised that the teacher has not mentioned this to you. She should be able to recognize the signs and symptoms of a child with this disruptive behavior. The downside is, if left untreated it will inhibit his learning abilities and social skills.

Here is a website which explains both and I suggest you read it over and take action to have your child tested and treated:
