Kids meltdowns


My 6 year old Nephew seems to be acting the goat for his ma a lot from what I’m told.Took him out on Saturday playing footy,pledging in the sea ,general running around and having fun.
He wasn’t a pick of bother and listened to everything I asked him to do.

It’s not all cases but I think too many folk want their bairns to just sit in the house all day and night and be good.Get them out in the fresh air having fun between yous.They need stimulation.

I find looking after them at that age a doddle.Get them out and full of clarts.Lads and lasses
Fresh air is good but it doesn’t change a dopamine and norepinephrine regulation problem in the brain.

It doesn’t I know that.What I am saying is that modern life and kids locked up and chucked infront of a screen isn’t healthy.
All a bairn wants is to be playing and having fun.Even if they don’t really know it themselves.


It’s 1/2 term.I can’t remember seeing any kids out playing this week.

Where about have you been this week? You haven't seen any kids knocking about on your travels?

There were loads out here in the park but the weather was nice. What’s it been like there? Many go away on holiday in half term now Gilly. Loads of our mates have been away to Tenerife or skiing. Plenty of fresh air up a mountain.

We know that too much screen time for our too makes them a bit cranky. But that’s for both of them including the one without adhd.

Weathers been canny.

A young family I know only allow there two kids an hr screen time a day.Seems OTT to most people but I admit it probably does make sense for the bairns development.

You not seen no kids knocking about on your travels?
 
Ah! But this thread is about kids with conditions. What if the condition means the kid has no regard to consequences or punishments, and they’ve worked out that hitting someone gets results? But nobody is hitting them? Gerrin, free rein to bray whoever I choose with no punishments.
I would challenge anyone on here to live with my son when he was younger and watch as none of your techniques work in the slightest.

I understand what you're saying, my son almost certainly has autism and we had a hell of a time with him so it's not like I can't relate a little to that. He's turned into a decent adult, but there were times when I wanted to give up on him. I have my own issues and just couldn't cope. I am deeply ashamed to admit I smacked him a few times, it just wasn't as taboo then, but it just felt wrong and I gave it up, determined to find another way. His Achilles' heel was his computer and game consoles. I took them out of his room for a day or two and he'd say 'can you not smack me instead?' :lol:

I have two daughters (no) younger than him who I've never raised a hand to, nor has my wife (no). I'll never forgive myself for hitting my son, and there was no way, especially after that, that I was ever going to hit my girls. They've turned out great as well. I've posted before about my youngest daughter, she has an exceptional mind.

I'm not going to judge you or others in your situation, Dave. I couldn't cope with what you've endured, you're a stronger person than me!
 
Well the fact remains that I still think a high number of kids are diagnosed with things when they don’t need to be. Nobody wants naughty kids anymore, people are afraid to smack them when they are, so they lose control. Giving them a nice label gives the parents some sense that it’s not their fault that little Jimmy is sitting on the wall telling passers by to fuck off.
Spot on

I can name a few people like that.
 
The wifes (no) mate has tried for 3 year to get her son diagnosed with autism

He is a canny kid just not as bright as others (takes after his dad ) but his dad has had a canny life got his own plumbing business and its never held him back.

The kids mam has had him to god knows how many doctors and specialists and finally he has been diagnosed as autistic !!!!

He was playing footy on a team with all his mates and played cricket with them he was going to a normal school and managing it all

She has now got him playing for a disabled football team where the goalkeeper is in a wheelchair and he is now in the "special" classes at school

Ive known this kid for years and he is a canny bairn who just isnt as bright as others but can manage at life perfectly well, now the poor kid is labelled for the rest of his life and all because his mother wanted this to get other benefits and free trips away or holidays from different charities.

Sometimes i think we are too quick to label kids who are just having a bad day/week

You do get loads of money mind. Well, his mam does. I’ve never seen a penny.
 
My 6 year old Nephew seems to be acting the goat for his ma a lot from what I’m told.Took him out on Saturday playing footy,pledging in the sea ,general running around and having fun.
He wasn’t a pick of bother and listened to everything I asked him to do.

It’s not all cases but I think too many folk want their bairns to just sit in the house all day and night and be good.Get them out in the fresh air having fun between yous.They need stimulation.

I find looking after them at that age a doddle.Get them out and full of clarts.Lads and lasses
Look up masking.
My lad is 3 and is very bad no reasoning with him. Hopefully it’s because hes very young!
Probably, I wouldn't be worried for another few years. It's usually just a phase at that age.
