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.

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.

becca_babe answered Monday February 6 2006, 10:02 pm: 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!
