I have a 9 year old who has recently started really acting up, hes fighting with me and other adults, and I cant even get him to school of the mornings without 3 or 4 more people to help. He has never in his life given me any problems now, they are so bad, I dont know what to do. I have had to get the police involved on 2 different occasions, and if anyone could give me some advice, Oh how I would appreciate it.
Something is going on. I would find out without anyone else being there. Ask him, listen to whatever he says and then take his word for it. Then do something to remove the problem. If it is at school, I would try to get a voucher and go to a different one. If he's having a problem with your boyfriend, get rid of the boyfriend. There is always a reason and it sounds like he is needing your attention pretty bad.
Hello W., I am also a SAHM- I work for a Wellness Company. Check out my Website you may be interested in working from home. http://www.stayinhomeandlovinit.com/cgi-bin/team.cgi?id=S...
Without trying to sound redundant W., you really need to get to the root of your son's problem. You or someone else really close to him is going to have to get him to open up. For every action there is a reaction and it sounds as if your son is reacting to something that is really bothering him. Of course, this question isn't for you to respond to, but only something to think about. How long have you and the boyfriend been together? I'm 35 and my mother has been with my stepfather since I was 12 and I resented him from day one (well, that isn't entirely true, I was a very outgoing child and really did try to have a relationship with him, but he didn't know how to deal with a child) and I did not even begin to have a relationship with him until my first child was born 5 years ago. But, that's neither here nor there. Talk, talk, talk to your son. And make sure that YOU are the one to take control of this situation if possible. He needs to respect you enough to do what you say, not the police or teachers or counselors. I will definitely pray for you.
Wow, that sounds serious. I would maybe start with trying to talk to a counselor at school or mabybe privately. sounds like something is bothering him.
I would say he deffinatly has has something going on. and like the other poster asked how long have you been living with your boyfriend? and is his father in his life? Kids get stress from situations like that, when something happens in your life they feel the stress of change much more than adults do. I was 8 when my mom remarried and 9 when she had her first child from that marrage and I was not a happy camper. Where are his sibblings and why arent they together, that can also have an effect on him. Also find out whats going on at school, something maybe there , kids dont act out w/o a reason.
My 14 yr old has been doin the same thing and started at the age of 7 or 8 so i know what your dealin with and his is not getting any better... Matter fack we had to file a out of controle on him this past week...He does have ADHD and takes med to control him so maybe you should take him to the doc and talk to them about it... Maybe he has some thing botherin him and thats his way of showin it too you back actin out like this..If you dont get him some help he might hurt you or some one else or maybe even his self... I wish you luck sweet heart i dont know where ya live i am in the Old hickory/Hermitage area in nashville if ya ever need some one to talk to just let me know..
