My niece doesn t seem to like me anymore?
I have a 7 month old niece, who seems to no longer want me anymore. I live with my mom, sister, brother in law, and of course the baby; she belongs to my sister. They ve lived here since the baby was born, and I ve always bonded with her until recently. She is in this state where all she wants to do is be carried, and when we are together, she throws a tantrum if I m not holding her. As soon as she sees my mom, sister, or brother in law, she immediately cries and holds out her hands for them to get her, while pushing me away. She won t leave them to come to me. I will add that every time she s crying to be carried, my mom comes to the rescue to pick her up, especially when I don t. Is she feeling rejected by me because I don t constantly come to her rescue? It really does hurt when she rejects me this way. This has been happening for a week now, and only getting worse.
Does my seven year old son have anger issues?
Ok here's the story. And please no rude comments. We are talking about a child. My son is seven years old. And just to give a little background info, he comes from a family that has both parents in the house. He has a sister that is 5. He is a straight A student, and is very gifted. He could read and write by the age of four, and was talking and walking at nine months old. Since he was four, he throws the most awful tantrums you've ever seen. He will be kicking, screaming, crying, hitting things , and throwing things. I brushed it off as just your typical temper tantrum. Now he's almost eight, and it's worse than ever. He will fight with his little sister, and kick her really hard, or throw her down on the ground and choke her with his hands. I have seen him "attack" (for lack of a better word) her for no reason or just because he thinks she's looking at him wrong. I know that all siblings fight, but it's gotten to the point that I am afraid he is going to hurt her. If I try to discipline him, he's very mouthy to me, and will try to hit me. He will do the same thing with his dad. He came home from school talking about how some little boy was picking on him, and how he was going to pound him into the dust. I don't know where he comes up with these things. I told him not to say things like that. He said his teacher was mean, and he would like to throw his chair at her. He does not listen to anything that i say. He won't do simple things that i ask. His teacher says that she has had no problem with him, or his behavior. His teachers from the past two years said the same thing. Is he just spoiled or am I doing something wrong? It seems he only acts like this towards his family. He says things like "i always get in trouble and my sister never does" or " you only love her and not me." It kills my soul to think that he feels that way. I would never be partial to one of my kids over the other one. I try to explain to him that there are differences between him and his sister and that's why things are different. (She's younger) Is he saying these things so that I will not punish him and feel bad for him, or do you think he really feels that way and is acting out? I'm so confused. I want to be a good mother, but sometimes I feel like I have no idea what i am doing.
My 7 year old niece is so naughty.. has she got Behaviour issues?
I have a seven year old daughter who can be extremely naughty too and it's very exhausting at times. I found it helpful reading Jo Frosts SuperNanny book as it really helped and I put her on the naughty step for seven minutes after I've warned her once. But consistency is the key and also praise. When she is good always praise praise praise, I feel sometimes some children get labeled as the 'naughty' child (I feel my daughter feels this way) and can become accustomed to it, which you don't want as it's not good for their confidence at all, there not far off from the teenage years and the more positive you put into them now the better. But also being firm, in your tone of voice and when punishing them too. I sat down once with my daughter and asked her to draw a picture of herself and to write all the good things she likes about herself, she couldn't think of any and it broke my heart and that's when I knew things had to change. So since then I ordered books from amazon about anger, self confidence etc for children and it helped getting her to speak about her feelings more and that's helped immensely as underneath anger is just sadness. She's much better now but obviously can still be a madam but goodluck!
How do i deal with my 7 year old clingy niece?
I have an adorable 7 year old niece, whom I love alot. We laugh, play and have a fun together. Everybody thinks it's cute about how much she adore me, too. She demands so much of my attention and I give it to her. Maybe its my fault, but lately, she's been acting very clingy towards me, more so than usual. She has me wrapped around her finger and she knows it too. I can't socialize with other adults without her being at my hip. I don't have the heart to tell her to leave me alone or to go play with the other kids. Does anybody have any ideas or thoughts about how I can ease her out of this clingyiness? My wife and sister in law, think she will ease out of it as she gets older.

Entertaining a 7 year old boy?
I also have a baby at home and a seven year old son. If he doesn't have a nintendo ds - Get one! They're great for times when you have to focus on the baby. Also of course plan on taking him to the movie rental store and let him pick out whatever movie he wants (with your approval of course). For things you can do together, you can pick him up a big bucket of sidewalk chalk and draw pictures in the driveway or sidewalk while the baby watches in the stroller or naps. My seven year old is also very into Legos, which is a nice project you can do with him when the baby is sleeping, of course you need to watch the small parts. If the weather is nice you can all go for a walk together with the stroller or go on a little picnic in the yard. Good luck!
