It started as a quiet morning. I let everyone sleep in. And I get on here to check some things out. My 8 year old wakes and moseys in. First thing he gets into "I don't want to go here or do this" I told him I have to do some things today and he has to go and then the noise starts. The whining that comes out of his mouth is almost unbareable. I tell him its for a short time and to stop. This is almost everyday and I'm pretty sure my cortisol levels have already spiked. Now I don't even want to get out of bed. It wld just be easier to hide. I know that's not feasible so ill get up shortly but not as calm as I wld have been I'm afraid my irritability is at an all time high and ltl things will make me upset. Just last nite I started balling because the trouble I was having getting my boy to bed. My head starts to get cloudy when I get stressed. I don't focus properly I forget things I need to do or take for the day. And right now I'm feeling horrible for even writing about it and putting my trivial ltl problems on others. I shld be able to handle things on my own.

Yea we do have a bed time routine. And always the same time. Since like december its been like pulling teeth though. Not sure why. His attitude about certain things has changed. I'm not sure what caused it.

maybe he's just going through a phase? i mean, at 8, children do change quite a bit.
are there any things going on at school that could possibly have caused a change in his behaviour? Has anythig changed at home? |

I'm sorry your day started on the wrong track...You can start it again at any time you know...
 Children change as fast as a board man with a TV remote so please don't fret too much. Their chemistry is in almost constant flux... In situations where your boy doesn't want to do what you would like,,,the first question to ask is "what would you like to do?"...That will take him off the defensive mode and put him in proactive...He won't be whinning...He'll be thinking... Then try compromise,,,teaching him this concept will offer him a tool that is proiceless in life...Do his "thing" for a bit and then do yours...Over time he will begin to understand that other people have needs too and helping them fill theris will help him fill his... With Care, Lenny

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
