Child for Sale...Cheap


I am at my wits end. Matthew has become insanely destructive in the last 2 days. Breaking toys, tearing apart notepads, drawing on his bed with markers, throwing food on the floor. Tonight we found one of the angels I inherited from my Grandmother torn apart in his bed. Why does he do this? I have given up on conventional methods such as time outs...he sits there and then goes right back to his devilish ways. I tried our states Grow with me program and their idea of help was to refer me to kindermusic and library programs. This doesn't help with his issues. I am beginning to wonder if he has ADHD. Tomorrow we will start calling a list of child psychologists we were given. I have had it, I am ready to walk away right now. I love him, but good God is he trying my last nerve.

I have two of those doing that around my house. I have really had it with them too. They fight, hit me and any other kid, talk back, don't listen, and my favorite laugh when they know that they are doing something wrong. I don't know what to do either. Please share your wisdom when you find out anything that works!

Sorry you are having a hard time, hang in there, you are doing a good job. You would not try and solve the issue if you did not care.

Keep your chin up. It must have been hard to see something you cherished destroyed by someone you love.

To Train up a Child is an excellent book - and cheap. Their insights are amazing. This link shows the books. You can get the magazine free or read it online here too. Best of Luck.

I have personally seen these methods work great with my own kids and others. I'm not perfect at it but I see a difference.

See there are days when I think that I would love to have another child...then I remember after reading posts such as this-what it's REALLY like to have a toddler. Sorry you're having a rough time with it all...I hope its just a phase and he grows out of it real quick like.
