Thanks Aloka. I've kind of tried your first suggestion for years and it didn't stop him from developing this behavior. He already plays sports (soccer) and that was a point of contention for me. I had thought cultivating more academic pursuits would produce a certain intellect and emotional intelligence in him. My sister thought different and, well, here we are.
