Why does my brother act like a baby?
He needs his mum for everything from doing his hair to tucking him in. She even needs to pour the dressing on his salad. Is this normal for a 15 year old? Mum also enjoys caring for him saying he's the baby of the family. I'm 3 years older and I've been doing mostly everything by myself since I was little. Maybe it's because he's the youngest? I'm just concerned because he's in high school now and all that. Thanks
My 12 year old acts like a baby? What do I do?
My 12 year old daughter, who will be 13 soon, has many temper tantrums like a baby. She cries when she has to do homework, screams when her 10 year old sister sits in the front of the car instead of her. She always has tantrums over little things, and acts like a toddler would when she is told to go bed. She has no health problems that cause this, she just miss behaives like a 2 year old. How can I teach er that she is acting like a baby and that she can't do that at this age? Thank you.
How can I deal with my brother who's a 26-year-old man that acts like a 2-year-old?
If you can get enough family together with signatures and depositions you should be able to have him committed at least for 72 hours. While he is in the institution get a restraining order and change the locks on the doors of the house. Be sure and tell the institution that they may have to find him accommodations as he will Be homeless when he gets out. If he acts like a two-year-old then give him a box of diapers a pacifier and some baby wipes. Do this in front of the staff of the institution in order for for them to observe his violent nature. If you go see him in the institution after he's been in there a day he might show his violent nature towards you all when you go there without having to give him diapers, pacifier and baby wipes. If you need further medical professional advice please call Dr. Laura. Don't call unless you want to hear the truth.If you want to argue and make excuses and not listen and except Dr. Laura's advice then don't bother calling. I hope nobody thinks anything I just said is humorous.People with mental health problems need to be taken serious and attention and help is needed immediately. Otherwise as in this situation right here things will get worse.Best wishes.
Toddler hitting her 9-year old brother (he does not retaliate). How do we get her to stop?
Toddlers hit, it’s a normal stage. Make sure your son knows how admirable he is for being restrained with her.I agree with the poster who said to have him tell her No, stop. But…she’s going to do it anyway. If he can, let him get away from her or put her in a playpen for a time out. (why don’t people use play pens any more? They were MADE for the terrible twos).At some point - when you KNOW she knows what she’s doing and she’s just seeing how far she can push you - (you’ll see it in her face) you may have to use a little ‘shock’ value - when she hits - have an immediate, loud, sharp NO!! Ready. Then calmly put her in the play pen. No more talk, no more bargaining, no more explaining.
Is my 19 year old brother allowed to take me to the doctor instead of my parents?
Yes , why not he is old and mature enough to explain it to the doctor about your illness. He can later on explain about the meeting to your parents as what the doctor has said. What medicines needs to be taken if there are any . Have faith in your brother . It seems obvious that you yourself are old enough to understand what the doctor will say. Try to listen to the doctor and tell him exactly about the reason you have come to see him. Your illness . Act as what he prescribes it to you. You require your parents under serious circumstances . Other wise both you and your brother are bound to deal with it . Best of luck .
How do I teach a perverted 11 year old to act 'normal'?
There needs to be consequences to his actions. This is a form of abuse on his part and it is criminal to grope another, touch another or inflict sexual touching. He could be charged with rape, assault, molestation or similar crimes. He has some issues he needs to deal with. He may be a victim of sexual abuse himself because some victims act out as the predator if the abuse isn't dealt with in a healthy way. If the parents don't care, child protective services, school counselors and teachers and therapists need to know.
Is this normal behavior for an 8 year old boy?
I don't mean to sound like a heartless beyotch, but my 8 year old brother is REALLY annoying. He's not the kind of brat who throws temper tantrums, but he's super hyper. And going out into public places with him is the WORST. He's always jumping, fidgeting, talking/singing to himself, making weird noises, running around, and shouting things. I don't understand half the jargon coming out of his mouth. He can't sit still and be quiet for 5 minutes. It's embarrassing when his energetic behavior draws all kinds of stares from people. I'm not sure if he has ADHD or something but it's really bad. Is this normal for an 8 year old? Because when I compare his behavior to my behavior when I was his age, I was pretty tame. All kids are energetic but when I was shopping with my parents I knew how to conduct myself appropriately in public places.
Does every 8 year old act like this or just mine?
My 8 year old (also a middle child) seems very lazy and acts as if she is very dumb even though I know she is smart (she makes all a's and b's in school). I am constantly having to remind her to do things because "I forgot" or "I didn't know". I am talking simple things like brush your teeth and hair, get dressed, sit correctly in the car. when its time for homework, she never wants to do it and always insists that "they didnt teach us this" or "I dont know how to do it". Even if I explain it she still acts this way. She is very slow at getting ready anytime we need to go somewhere, or need something done. It takes her 3 times as much time as other ppl to do simple chores and getting ready to go to school. I am really sick of telling her to hurry up and reminding her to do EVERYTHING. Is this normal, do all 8 year old act like this? She does have ADHD but is on medication for it, and she has acted like this even before the medication. She was tested for learning disabliites, and everything seems fine. I know she has middle child syndrome for some reason, i actually think she gets more attention than the other children. sometimes she is mean to her little sisiter, while she wont even take up for herself with her big sisiter. She acts weird sometimes too, like laughing at nothing, making weird noises, and other numerous things. I do not tell her this behavior is weird, only that its not appropraite and to stop doing it, but she still does. She also seems to act like she is very much younger than what she really is most of the time. My questions are : Are all 8 year olds this way, or just mine? Is there anything I can do to stop this behavior? What could be the reasons she is like this?
