hello new to site. i'm having trouble with my 10 yr stepson who has been living with his and I for 2 months now. apparently we found out recently he was seeing a socialogist when he was with his mom but the mother gav partical custody to my husband. Problem is not sure what his problem is see I have a 10 yr old boy with chronic asthma and taking him to follow up appts so this visit I had to take my son plus my stepson and my stepson asked so badly and disrespected so bad it was embrassing to no end Nurses were talking to myself and my son about how he feels and my stepson would not shut up I kept telling to please quiet down and all he could do was make noises to the point i took him out to sit in the lobby no sooner than I turned around to go back to my son he was behind me I asked him to go back and he wouldn't so I closed the door half way so he couldn't interupt my son doing some breathing tests my stepson was pushing and kicking the door to come in I told him to stop and he wouldn't so I ignored him and he continued so i patted his head twice to stop so he yelled out loud in the hall don't hit me leave me alone. I done I don't know what to do with my stepson he also acts badly with his dad . |

There could be a lot of reasons why he is acting that way (I can think of jealousy, conduct disorder, etc. etc.). Has he been diagnosed with ADHD and/or anything else? As your legal stepson, you and/or your husband have the right to know his medical history and to get him into a child psychologist. Have you considered this angle? I also don't suggest taking the boy anywhere with you where significant attention is going to be paid to your other son and not him. Either way, if you take your stepson outside of the home, make sure you can be in a situation where he is easily controlled. First thing I would do is get your stepson looked at by a child psychologist (insurance usually covers this). Then you will have an opportunity to speak with the psychologist about your stepson and discuss the problem and the treatment, including how you should best deal with him. Good luck.

i agree it doesnt sound like typical adhd behaviour, maybe he was crying out for attention seeing your son was getting it by seeing nurse , he might of felt excluded
he might be pushing you to see how far you would go in public, maybe just a sugestion that when you need to go to places were you attention needs to be placed on one boy ask for help get a friend to go or somebody else also if hes playing his father up it might be again playing one parent agains the other as children tend to do this just to see if somethings going to happen
