Troubling Twelve Year Old

The following recommendations were given to a parent whose 12 year old was expressing his frustrations by breaking things.

 

 The Age of Opportunity by Tripp , as well as Lou Priolo’s Heart of Anger ;  ,  The Heart of Passion by Sterret video; Also Cynthia Tobias’ You Can’t Make Me.  Cynthia has a very good understanding of kids like this because she was one (and still is, I presume, she has just harnessed all of that energy differently as an adult).  Masculinity has GOT TO BE called forth by masculinity (Healing of the Masculine Soul, by Gordon Dalby);  Strong-Willed Parent or the Angry Parent, Child, and Teen audio by Hamby

I would also recommend that the follow food products be removed from his diet and examined by a nutritionist and doctor.

White sugar, wheat products/gluten—yup, artificial additives and sweeteners eg: aspartame—(often found in Yogurt) they can certainly all contribute….
