So I am having a hard time with my 6 year old son, we are on the verge of seeking some counselling and therapy for him. I look at his little beautiful face each day and question, where I have failed or misled him - when he's out of control, being defiant and naughty, it takes so much strength to cope. I have my own disabilities that I am faced with daily, and now I must find some inner strength to endure taking my son to some T. I know its for the best to get to the bottom of his behavioral stuff but I could just good do with some helping prayers and healing thoughts.

I will say prayers. I do urge you to take him to get evaluated, sometimes these behaviors are not always of our own making.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your thoughts and support. I am going to contact the school T. first, as my PDoc suggested that.

I add my thoughts and prayers for you and your son too.
Sometimes you just have to gather force for each day.

Thanks guys, your thoughts and prayers are well received. I spoke to my T. about his behavior and we are going to start with his school and the PDoc there and then take it one step at a time. I appreciate all your good thoughts and I'll keep you posted.

I do hope that you can get an answer quickly, concerning your son. Even though he's young, I'm glad to see you are taking the initiative in getting him some help, as well as yourself. I can assure you that you haven't let him down or mislead him; sometimes these problems just arise. I have a 35-year-old that sometimes acts as if he's 5, seriously, so count your blessings. We have all been there where you are now. Peace be with you through this; God will see you through. Hugs and Prayers, Amante ♥

I got some very positive feedback from his school teacher, apart from the normal childhood goofyness when the teacher eyes are not watching, he's doing really well at school, he's very smart she said and a quick learner and sometimes makes poor choices and follows others. I feel very relieved that it wasn't an awful report. We can live with this part,, now we just have to work on the home stuff.

my biggest point at home is that he gets angered easily over trivial things like when the tv has to go off? so perhaps that's where we need to start with a T.

thanks again for the support you all bring to the table.
