Question Posted Saturday January 20 2007, 7:20 pm

i need some advice regarding my 9 year old son.

he wanted a cell phone and a laptop for christmas. he didnt get either and wrote a statement "no cell phone or laptop i want you dead i swear"

in addition he has a facination with guns and knives.all he draws is blood & death useing guns and knives. hes consitantly defiant especially when it comes to picking up after himself

ex: wrappers or soda cans left wherever he decides where he wants to eat. he is always lying about trivial things and constantly breaks or looses possesions and then lies about it even though it wouldnt have gotten him in trouble.

no punishments or rewards work ! at all ! he'll do things right until hes off punishment and he'll just continue with what he does when he gets rewards.

this all started after his father died and i do not believe it is his way of copeing with it .
he has many problems with school and cannot concentrate



pleas help . any advice will do. im really frightened by what he does and worried about how this will all end.

If he's like that do not reward him. He dosn't deserve that if he dosn't listen. He probably also has a really bad group of friends and bad influences in his life. You are going to have to keep punishing him until he gets the hang of things here.

Get him into psychotherapy. Now. Have him see a counselor.


It sounds like there's nothing you can do directly that can really help him. But a counselor can.

Theres obviously something wrong i suggest you get him some counseling or some other kind of therapy. maybe he would be better off talking to another male.i say male because he might be more apt to open up to a man before he would a woman.try taking him to a psyschiatrist maybe he needs medication of some kind.the medication would be a last resort. he could get really dangerous. so id get him help while hes young because he may be bad now but he could get alot worse.that statement is basically a threat and little kid are easily manipulated he could see something on television or just think of something on his own that could be very harmful. i wouldnt under estimate him.just get him some help.
