Troubled child


Question Posted Monday February 6 2006, 9:33 pm

There is a boy I babysit for that I am very worried about. He has grown up in a bad home, but no one has been able to get enough evidence to get him sent to a better place. He tears rooms apart, turns over tables, and injurs me when I try to do anything he doesn't like. What can I do to help him? Any suggetions will be rated.

Chances are his parents have shprt tempers and he grew up around violence. My little cousins grew up like that so i deal with it o when i babysit. what i do is when they yell and all that stuff i just stay calm and talk to them. it usually works. Just share your experiences with him. He'll gain more trust towards you.I hope i helped.

Obviously this child has developed a short fuse and goes off fast, i've had my times of going off fast, most people would say yknow "oh hes just looking for attention" of something like that, but the truth is you never know, he may be unhappy where he is or maybe feels unappreciated. The best thing to do is when ur babysitting to sit him down and just try to have fun, maybe get him to be more comfortable around you, and then try to talk to him about it, if you need more help on it contact me.

hey, sounds hard, ok so i think that you should first try talking to either your parents or his parents, its important they know that their child is having behavior problems. if like you said the problem is in the home itself and you cant go to the parents then try to first set the authorative tone, try to work on his behavior problems with rewards (yes i know its a child not a dog but if it was your child how would you teach it manners) if you watch movies watch ones with a moral and lesson try to use every opportunity to help this child because all children need a basis of morals and values to grow up and livea successfull life. good luck and comment bac if you need more explanation or advice

Wow that sounds rough. Have you talked to his parents yet? They deserve to know what goin on with there child and maybe you find somthing he likes (that isn't dangerous or harmful) and try doing it with him. Somtimes yound kids need dicipline or they will just never learn. So i wouldn't be afraid to be strict don't yell but tell him wrong from right
GOOD LUCK!
