Martial Arts?? NO!

Until your child has received attachment therapy and is near the end of treatment and largely healed DO NOT begin such training. It is a very bad idea. Given how violent is your child, such training would be very dangerous. The training does not teach self-discipline. It focuses a child's self-discipline abilities; a child with impulse control problems and who cannot effectively regualte his or her affect cannot develop self-control from teaching. He or shel can only learn to regulate his or her affect through attachment therapy.
