i have 4 kids, a boy who is soon to be 8 and a daughter who is soon to be 6..... they are in 2nd grade and kindergarden. They fight 98% of the time, they scream and hit each other, call each other stupid and idiot. They also grunt like animals, dont want to get ready for school, or go to school. My son is smart, gets excellent grades, my daughter needs more help, but gets frustrated easy. They both hate homework and school. I am going crazy with these two. My other two, are a girl who is soon to be 4 and a boy soon to be 2, and they are angels compared to my first 2. HELP, i think they both need anger management. what should i do. My older son also cant stand his shoe laces poking out, his pants touching his shoes, etc.... he will stare at his shoes while walking to school and grunting and screaming that they bother him.....
Do you have a morning routine for your children? If not, establish one. Use pictures and words on a large piece of paper to make up their routine. You can even use a dry erase board and have them check off each thing when they accomplish it.
What do you do when they talk nasty or grunt at each other? Is is possible that they behave this way for attention? Have you mentioned the sensory issues your son has to his doctor?
i did the picture / routine chart that i learned from nanny911 when my son was younger...it got ripped up by the kids but maybe i will try again!! They grunt to me as well, and i give them warnings, threaten with pepper in their mouth, sit them in time out, until i lose it and then i scream like a nut. then i feel an overwhelming guilt come over me that i swear im a bad mom. maybe they want attention, but i tell them if they do their homework and help mommy by picking up their toys, then we can play.....but they dont do it. i did mention the sensory thing to the doc, but he seems to think it will pass.
I have 3 kids (10, 7, 4) My 7 year old boy is like that with his older brother and younger sister. He has ADHD. When he is acting up and I have to tell him 3 times to quit it I take something that he really likes away for a while (like his playstation) and if he does it again I take it away for a day or two or take away something else along with it. Sometimes he will get a timeout. Her will try and get up and I will physically move him back to the chair or couch. Sometimes these things work and sometimes they don't. We go through this almost everyday. It is very tiresome. I am also at my wits end.
they fight about that too! i try to start the bed routine at 730 so thet r in bed by 8, but it never works....they always want to watch tv with me and say they r not tired....then comes the crying, grunting, screaming.... mind you, i had just put my 1 1/2 yr old to bed, and my 3 year old whines with them
i have also moved the clocks to 10 min ahead....im thinking of putting them 1 hour ahead, so they think its 9pm but really its 8!!!
