any kick boxing classes around? karate? excellent ways to diffuse that energy and direct them in a positive way.

She used to do a martial arts club when she was living with mum, although she rarely went and mum only arranged it because it was on a Friday evening (there was also a Monday evening choice) and interfered with my husband collecting her for weekend contact as it finished an hour later than his court ordered contact started! He would sit around at work (he works half way between mum's home and our home, so when he had contact he would drive straight from work rather than come home and then go over, due to the mileage) to leave at 6.30pm (he finishes work at 5.30pm) to get there for 7 to collect her from her club, and more often than not, she would text him when he was on his way, around 6.45 to say SD wasn't at the club so he would have to collect her from there. Why on earth she did that we have no idea, but it certainly wound us up (guess that was the intention). Sorry, I went off track! Anyway, she enjoyed that so we asked her if she wanted to do similar here but she didn't. She has however just started athletics and trampolining as after school clubs. Hopefully those will expel some energy, positively!
