I have 3 wonderful children. Smart, funny, and for the most part a joy to be around. My oldest lives with her father and we see her every other weekend. My problem is with the two youngest children, moreso my son, 6. He is in first grade and at least once a week he is on red at school. For those that do not know, the colors go from blue (the best) to red (the worst). He has already been sent hoem with a refereal, a "warning note" and i reicve a phone call from his teacher at least once every couple of weeks. His father passed two years ago, and i feel this might have something to do with this behavior. At school he is often playing instead of listen, talking to his friends, being defiant sometimes even rude to his teachers, has been having issues exposing his genitals even touched another boy in that sopt as well. His behavior at home is no better. If he is not being watched like a hawk, he is beating up his sister, pushing her down and so forth. If he is not doing that he is being desctructive or getting into things that he knows he is not allowed to be into. He gives me hell about doing his homework, taking his shower at night, going to bed etc.... I am at my wits wnd with him. I see his sister, who is 5, following in his footsteps and it worries me. As for punishments, he gets spankings, toys and privaleges taken away, groundings ans sometimes has to do some sort of manual thing as punishment. Nothing I do seems to work. I fear I am at my wits end with him. I spoke to his teacher about him maybe having ADHD as it runs in my husbands side of the family. SHe does not seem to think this is an issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreicated.
