We all have kids... Maybe we can give you some helpful hints and much needed support.elaine said:You wouldn't want to share the behavioral problem with us, would ya'?
I don't think Elaine was the one asking.Kain99 said:We all have kids... Maybe we can give you some helpful hints and much needed support.
Your child sounds very much like my cousin's little guy. I lived with them for two years, and I have never seen a child act like that, and it wasn't caused by lack of discipline. They tried everything and nothing worked. He went through 3 daycares in 6 months as well. It turned out that the little boy had ADHD and CD (Control Disorder, which is what makes them violent). He's on a low dose of Adderall and is like a totally different kid. He's not sluggish though, they prescribed just enough of the drug to control his moods and behavior without making him into a zombie. You should talk to your pediatrician and maybe a child psychologist as well.devilvice said:Well I am a single mom and the father lives in Nevada.. whom she never sees. We have no family around here and no friends either. She has gotten kicked out of the 3 daycares she has been in within maybe 6 months. She bullies the kids around.. pokes at them.. throws sand and rocks... hits.. and she never sits still in class.. she is always the one moving around.. time out doesnt help and if i spank her she doesnt care. She laughs mostly. I am sure there is more if I can think right.

Regardless of what studies show, I believe that behavior is hereditary. The little boy I spoke of earlier has MANY cousins with behavioral problems as well. You also might want to monitor her foods. The little boy can't eat or drink anything with a high amount of a certain red dye. No hotdogs or red koolaid, etc. If he has any of it, he's uncontrollable, even with the meds he's on. As for the meds, you'll be able to tell if they are over medicating her, if it comes to that. If that's the case, take her back to the dr. and have them reduce the dosage. I hope that its just a case of her not being challenged, but if it isn't, it can be managed without turning your child into a zombie. If you give her things to do, like puzzles or some kind of game requiring logic like memory, she may behave better. Something to make her mind slow down so that she has to really think about what she's doing.devilvice said:Thanks.. never thought it was her not being challenged enough but did think it could be along the lines of ADD or ADHD.. but her being on the meds is what scares me the most. And just because I am young doesnt have anything to do with my mothering capabilities. I was married at one point and things just didnt work out.. however her dad has a terrible temper and I am scared she is going in his direction. Behaivor.... that isnt heriditary right? Well I made an appointment with her doctor for Friday so maybe I can get some professional help.
