My son is 7 and he’s usually not a brat but when he gets overstimulated he can be. He was bored in the dr’s office (hell so was I) and I think that’s what tipped it off this time. He got agitated from sitting there for over an hour. It didn’t help that we hadn’t eaten and that I was getting annoyed as well. Our day went downhill from there. Eventually he ended up in his room because I was being “too mean”. I was actually thankful for that because I got a break. He’s back to his happy self now so it’s all good but I can’t wait for him to fall asleep so I can truly have some alone time.

Raspberry I have considered karate but every time I bring it up he shoots me down.maybe I will force him to go to a trial class just so he can see what it’s all about and then decide if he wants to do it or not.
