Anger is a big deal for Rannon too, have you tried having Jon give him a blessing? It isn't right away but it helps, and Rannon and Jonah absolutely have to listen to scriptures every night while in bed or they are not fit to live with. I say that because I love them, they really aren't. Anyway your other friends seem to have the right ideas too, but I thought maybe if it is genetic, lol, the same thing could help yours that helped mine. love you and give him a hug for me...hehehe. staceyStaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16261916116509694795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8976655078315152680.post-87483408777354108082008-10-07T22:47:00.000-07:002008-10-07T22:47:00.000-07:00I think the one on one time with Alex is a great ...I think the one on one time with Alex is a great idea. When my kids act up I have found it helpful to put them in their room and tell them that they can come back when they are ready to be nice. It might be worth a try. I do think consistency is key. It is so hard sometimes when your tired and frusterated! Hang in there Rebecca. You are a good Mom. Oh, and I would recommend the Love and Logic book as well. I don't practice it as faithfully as Julie does, but it does have some very helpful and "that makes sense" approaches in it.Tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17970846890529011471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8976655078315152680.post-80739343059281280182008-10-06T20:10:00.000-07:002008-10-06T20:10:00.000-07:00We talked breifly about this today-- here is my ad...We talked breifly about this today-- here is my additional advice(Not that you should take it, my DD just told me today she hated me in front of a bunch of people when picking up DS from a class! EEK!): Stay consistant with whatever method you choose. For my kids spanking doesn't help, and I don't know why, it sure deterred me when I was kid. We do use time outs- and it took us months to get them to actually stay in time. We also talk about this behavior when its calm and how hard it is on the entire family. Its a good subject for FHE, then they don't feel personally attacked- everyone in the family is hearing it-right? Also, I am finding focusing on the positive has helped us. Can you reward him for when he is being good? My kids are all about charts and we started a Reward Chart for chores and being nice and other helpful activities and it has actually seemed to help out a lot. I know its hard! And it hurts! Just hang in there.. you are a good mom!1000 Miles in 2021https://www.blogger.com/profile/05087449361750158655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8976655078315152680.post-68618983415975609022008-10-06T08:32:00.000-07:002008-10-06T08:32:00.000-07:00You're already doint what I would advise--spending...You're already doint what I would advise--spending extra one-on-one with him. The only other thing I can think is read "Parenting with Love and Logic" if you haven't already. It's a WONDERFUL book! It talks a lot about how to parent without anger and how to help the child handle his own problems. They also have a website that has articles on a number of topics. You might just find exactly what you need for this particular problem--try this one - http://www.loveandlogic.com/pdfs/0401tvarticle.pdf.<BR/><BR/>Hope it helps. Sorry you're going through this. Believe me, you're not alone. I've gone through it to one degree or another with a couple of my kids. Love and Logic really helped.Hesses Madhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17988796143736645049noreply@blogger.com
