PLEUS, J.
This is a second-degree attempted murder and improper display of a firearm case. Although Harry Rounds raises two issues on appeal, we address only one. Specifically, Rounds contends that the trial court erred by assessing 18 points on his sentencing guidelines scoresheet for his possession of a firearm. The state concedes error as to this point. We agree that the trial court’s assessment of the additional points was improper as those points may only be assessed “[i]f the offender is convicted of committing or attempting to commit any felony....” See § 921.0014(l)(b), Fla. Stat. (1997). Improperly exhibiting a dangerous weapon is a misdemeanor. See § 790.10, Fla. Stat. (1997). Accordingly, we remand the cause for resentencing based upon a corrected scoresheet.
AFFIRMED in part; REMANDED for resentencing.

D.D. as Parent of E.R. v. Dep't of Child. & Families, 773 So. 2d 615 (Fla. 5th DCA 2000)…as at risk of suffering either prospective abuse or prospective neglect. As a threshold matter we note that the “trial court’s discretion is very broad with respect to proceedings involving child welfare.” D.H. v. Department of Children & Families, 769 So. 2d 424 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000). To that end, “[i]n reviewing an order adjudicating a child dependent, this court does not conduct a de novo review of evidence or substitute its judgment for that of the trial court.” In re D.J.W., 764 So. 2d 825, 826 (Fla. 2nd…

Servs., 937 So. 2d 709 (Fla. 2d DCA 2006)…ed on these statutory definitions, courts have held that domestic violence may constitute “harm” if it occurs in the presence of the child. In the Interest of E.B., 834 So. 2d 415, 416 (Fla. 2d DCA [*711] 2003); D.H. v. Dep’t of Children & Families, 769 So. 2d 424, 427 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000). However, the “presence” of the child must be something more than physical proximity. D.D. v. Dep’t of Children & Families, 773 So. 2d 615, 617-18 (Fla. 5th DCA 2000).
