HELP!!!
I just don't know what to do with him anymore.. He is 9 years old and takes medicine for ADHD.
He is a chronic liar...among other things but the lying seems to be the cause of all the other arguments.
He lies about everything..then when he is questioned and confronted, he lashes out screaming and yelling. We have discussed honesty and modeled the behavior for him. The consequences do not bother him. The yelling just continues.
As a manipulation, he yells about not being loved and why did we 'bother' adopting him. It's very hurtful but we try not to react because he wants the attention for saying such things.
He is stealing things at school. He had detention last week for that...he fights on the school bus, too.
He destroys his belongings. He is still very oral as he puts non food items in his mouth (blanket, coat zipper, robe ties,etc. Negative for pica.
He sees a child psychologist weekly and he is working with him. Every day is a struggle. He fights for total control of everyone and everything.
