Re: Blasted kid... (help..)

[sanlyn]

I major in clinical psychology and based from your description i got an impression that  the kid more likely has Attention deficit Hyperactive disorder (ADHD).  Better to consult a child psychiatrist/child psychologist or pediatrican.
Don't be mad with the kid and don't ignore the behavior.  If the child has ADHD, Its the brain making him act like that.  Yelling might not help to solve the problem becuase for ADHD child, he got what he wanted which is your attention.

I agree with Takeru's idea.  reward/punishment is surely effective in behavior training.

OMG, this sounds like my brother. He always like that. Trying to get attection, and will do anything to get it. but, what people said above me (I don't want to repeat it, over)

My brother acting the same way as the kid is doing. And now, he is in high school, and he has never been taught a lesson. This kid needs to be disaplen (bad speller), fast. Before he grows up, and learns that he thinks he rules the world. Because, my brother is a nightmare when he comes to it.

Your sword, omg. o_o

To be honest

Another friend of mine suggested a punishment for this kid that his own family is currently using on there daughter, since she is constantly craving attention and acting like a baby (crying a lot when she doesn't get the attention) her parents put her back in diapers and now there daughter is realizing that what she is doing is actually causing more problems than good

Granted she is getting attention, but not the type she desires. (They're daughter is nine year's old)

I'm actually curious as to weather this would help but then again I don't know, as someone who has had his own parents do that to him (back when I was six years old) it was an evil punishment, but it did teach me a harsh lesson in reality (even at that age)

It might help, but convincing my brother will be difficult (shrugs)

I was being sarcastic, and that's not even the point.

Can we please not have a fight start in here? >_<

In other news:

The kid almost acted up today at the restruant, an old couple kind of.. errr... they had a few things to say about the kids attitude

suffice it to say, my father REALLY doesn't like this kid. To demanding, wants to much attention (even goes as far as bugging his father when HIS father (my dad) is trying to enjoy some quality time)

Grrr..... >_<

*take's a sledge hammer*

Sorry Takeru Â¥amamoto  and Kasawa Lanford, i wasnt meaning to offend anyone, and i am sorry if it looked as if i was. I dont want to start a fight, i was trying to help, but i have ahd a bit to much stress lately, which clouds my judgement. Please forgive me.

I hope the kid will learn what he is doing, but ethcs are not taught at school anymore >_<. THe father needs to teach him respect for his peers, like they have in CCS lol. That might help

Let me just say this, because I am still upset by what you said. Nobody, I repeat nobody should ever treat a child with that kind of cruelity! It is insane, and crazy to think like that. Yes, children should be punished, but not that extremely. You say that ethics aren't taught anymore, but then you have the nerve to say that you should tie a child up and abandon them. You should check your ethics.

Ok guys leave alixis alone. He does not truly want to hurt any children. He is a good person who likes to joke around sometimes. Pls, let's stop arguing and stay on topic.

Don't know what that means but if you have something to say on the subject, do it in English.

Trust me folks...you don't want me to wade in on this battle...if you know what I mean. If you have helpful and pratical suggestions, by all means let's hear it. If there's something that you feel is wrong, explain in a civil discussion why in your opinion it is. Don't start with the arguments between one another and remember...you may be joking about what you say but others may take it seriously so choose your words wisely. Thank You.

[Celestial]

Thank you Arcademan , that is very wise.

My quote is from the starting song of japenese Naruto Second season which i assumed most would know what it means. In English:

"Yes, the most imprortant things are the ones with no form"
