My Beautiful Boy

Sorry I haven’t posted much lately but I’ve just had so many problems with Corey that everything I write will just be negative so I haven’t bothered.

We are getting really desperate!

Coreys violence has gotten out of control, I can’t even leave him in a room with my other children anymore because I can’t trust him not to hurt them.

Yesterday he punched his 7 year old brother in the head and then the mouth because he wasn’t ‘playing the game right’.  The night before he had a friend sleep over and I ended up ringing his Mum to tell her to come and pick him up after him and Corey had a big fight and were threatening to break each others neck.  Corey apparently pulled a knife on him too when I was in the shower.

Hug Therapy

When Corey gets into one of his rages I really can’t stand to watch him like that.  Sometimes he just gets so upset that I think he’s going to explode if he doesn’t stop yelling and screaming like that.

For example, last night him and Ben just wouldn’t stop fighting.  My husband just got to the stage that he’d had enough and told them both to go and have a shower and go to bed – it was only around 7pm at the time.  Corey just went crazy and lost it completely, no way was he going to have a shower and go to bed that early.

Since starting this blog I have had a number of emails from Mothers with similar issues, with kids that have behavior problems and can’t seem to find a solution to them.  Some with ODD, some with ADHD and some with Aspergers and then some, like Corey, that can’t seem to get a diagnosis.

ADHD or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders is a disorder that seems to be on the rise in recent years. There certainly seems to be many more children diagnosed with this disorder these days than in previous years. It isn’t completely known for the reason that is has increased but could be that we have more knowledge of the disorder and are therefore able to diagnose it as opposed to many years ago or perhaps it could be related to the number of additives and preservatives that we eat and the increasing levels of pollutants in the air that we breathe.

Regardless of the cause of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder the fact is that many children are being diagnosed with it and as a parent it is important that you arm yourself with as much information about ADHD as you can. Read the rest of this entry »
