My 5 Year Old Is Out of Control Posted: 12-15-06 08:37am
I have been dealing with this for about a
year now he will be 6 in february. It is
like he goes through cycles with his
behavior. When he is bad, boy is he bad.
Cant sit still in class or in home,
motor mouth. Hitting children, standing
on chairs, emotionally unstable.
Constantly crying when by himself he
doesnt know why, filled with anger at
some points throws his toys. He
constantly wants to talk about death. He
says I want to kill my self I cant do
anything right. He is not up to par with
the rest of the kids in class. He doesnt
want to go to school anymore cause it is
too hard for him. I ask him steve why
cant you behave? He replies I try but I
cant stop it I dont know why. After
about a month of this behavior he goes
through a good cycle. I mean ofcourse he
does normal kid stuff that he gets in
trouble for but he is manageable. I take
care of mentally retarded individuals and
they go through cycles but that is normal
for them. This is a healthy child I just
dont know what to do I give him time out
take things away from him. Nothing is
helping.
