haha my mom, taking him to our doctor, and our doctor actually doing something?! bahhahaha when hedgehogs fly..... and sibling wise, i am the oldest at 15 1/2, we have another brother thats 12 now, then its him at age 7. and yes we do try to ignore his tantrums to the best extent (its actually quite funny when he has a melt down when we have friends over :P) and for as long as i can remember i have been the one who goes to calm him down, or distract him, or prevent him from hurting anyone else. (he has given me black eyes, many bruises, bite marks, scratchmarks, you name it hes done it :P )
but i mean its just something we have to accomidate with. thanks for the imput :)
Sounds like my daughter! She's 8 and bipolar. She goes into rages then snaps out of it like nothing happend. She's obsessed with food (we don't give in) it seems like she can control it, or she's just a bad kid, but that's not it at all. She's not on meds anymore, they made her worse. Sometimes "bad kids" have a actual psych problem and just need to talk to someone.
It sounds like he knows that bad behavior will get him what he wants .It would be best to ignore his yelling and tantrums .If it is ineed sugar has the doctor done any testing to see if there is anything going on,I suggest your Mom takes him for a blood sugar test .Has he any other siblings ., how do you get on with him , ?
Well the good thing is clearly he can control these outbursts, and that really is a good thing. He is motivated at school and at his grandparents home to behave well, and he does it. He saves the rages for where he can dump them.
Here is an excellent article about sugar cravings, and what to do. Different causes.
