SUBJECT: 6 Year Old Out Of Control
I need info and help. My girlfriend has a six year old boy {Dallas} for the past 8 months that I have been with her Dallas has been nothing but a bad kid. I love him to death but he needs help. For example, at least once a week he tells her he hates her, he also has a very violent behavior when asked to do something he looks away and runs then when confronted he decides to change the subject like asking her questions about absolutly nothing. When she tells hims Dallas listen to what I am saying he then chooses to ignore her. Well ofcourse she gets upset then yells at him to come here, and once again he just goes on doing what ever he feels like instead of listening to her. Well then it gets worse she yells louder and says come here now Dallas and then goes up to him to confront him. He then will either throw him self on the ground and scream or yell at her by saying no, no, no, no screaming at her, or he will just start swinging at her uncontrollably. If she tries to pick him up to put him in his room he kicks and hits uncontrolably. At that point she runs out of his room crying and goes strait to her room. Now we have tried the star program thing by bieng good at school doing chores ect. he can recieve a gold silver or bronze star. WE have tried just about everything yelling at him does not work, spanking hime does not work, getting in his face does not work. Every day he gets home from school all he does is wine and complain about everything till he goes to bed and boy that is a big problem also. So is trying to get him ready for school yelling all he does is laugh at you. Now school he does occasionaly have good days I think the longest period of time he has been good without getting in trouble at school is three days. He has punched and kicked his teacher, Vice principle and counsler. He has been suspended for fighting at school, and we have had to change schools because he has been kicked out of his first elementerary school he went to at the begging of the school year. The counslers at school have tried to help him with no success, we have takin him to many child phychologist none of which have been able to help him. What can we do it's tearing are family apart We are to be married this september but all we do is fight about him now. We need help we live in San Antonio Texas what can we do what would be the best thing to do I dont think boot camp would do any good or a behavior modification school we are clueless if anyone can help us we would be in your debt forever. I love him, she loves him but we just cant take it anymore he has gone to far to many times.
