When you feel that your child is exhibiting anti-social behavior then you should try these interventions. Firstly you should consult with the classroom teacher and the school counselor. if you're not making head way, and you feel that your youngster's anti-social behaviour is getting more and more serious, then it's time to seek professional help. You may want to consult your physician, or perhaps there might be a counseling agency that your physician might recommend or potentially you have some community contacts in which you can get a therapist involved in helping you correct his anti-social behavior.
