Perfectly understand you, have a same story at home. I have a big girl and you think she will know what will happen when she tried to lick a detergent!
But she doesnt.
And ther is she so loud crying WASH MY MOUTH....
And me washing her mouth and talking, talking......
Just know that cant last forever, kids need a sleep too.
i thought so too but the only way he will sleep is with meds and even that don't work all the time.even in his sleep he fidgets,talks,giggles and sings,he even started sleep walking!!! i am scared to fall asleep in case i don't hear him.yeah it is hard to stay calm when he tries to jump out of the top floor windows,thrash my bathroom after me telling him 3 times to get out of it as i knew he was going to do it.i always have to keep an eye on him as i speak i am sitting next to him while he is trying to cover his sister in paint. i am on my way to get him to help make bicuits with me.what gets to me is it doesn't matter what i say or how many times he will do whatever he wants.he doen't care about consequences,or if he hurts himself or others.i need a moan,sorry.all week i had kids around the house to keep my ADHD son occupied.as it is the holidays,my son went swimming,went to the zoo,i took him to town to get toys and paint,i had to stay home today as i have health problems and all this activity drained me.he has destroyed nearly everything in sight and he is driving me bonkers.nothing i do seems to be enough,i tried time out,he can't stand still.i bought 2 books about ADHDthey don't cover ADHD in 3 years old.I am ashamed to say i shouted,even begged him(how pathetic is that).i have one more week of this and i think i probsbly will have a nervous breakdown before the end of it!!!sorry for the moan.
Know how you feel, but I know that you had to have deep breath, maybe have some hot shower and calm down.
BE CALM, so in half an hour he will be too.
Know it not sound like somethig smart, but it is only that work with my 9 year old girl.
I scream, begg, cried a lot becouse feel helpless.
We need to faight with ourself to be caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalm, so we can calm them.
yes we were told not to let him watch cartoons or play computer games before bed time,we try to read him a book,sometimes he likes it,sometimes not.last night he was sleepwalking and fell and hurt his leg,he is fine now but it took me 1/2 hour to calm him down.it must have hurt a lot as he has a high pain threshold.So sorry to hear that.
We have no problem with sleepwalking.
MAGIC KISS always helped my girl and comforted her./me an my neighboors too/
It is just like you describing my girl. She used to sleep with me till she was 6, couse I afraid to let her sleep alone. I talk in sleep too, so ther was funny situations, when we talk to each other, both of us sleeping.
Even she were in bed early, she would be awake about 3 am, so we make a mistake leting her wach cartoons, she became cartoon addict.
I allways say " She started to talk with 8 months old and never again stop her tongue rest."
Now, she is 9, she sleeps alone in her room, still talking, singing and arguing in sleep. It was sometimes hard to be awake all night, but its lot easier now. I learn that more of stimuli situation make her more sleepless. I had to learn her play peaceful games like playing chess, cards. drowing...And trying to find positive thing(energy, imagination,...) in her behavior, it was allways easier for me.
Traditional punish for lots of SE kid will not work. To be up front kids don't care anyhow if you take away stuff. Ours don't. If they are stubborn hard way is the way they learn about wrong choices. I believe behavioral therapy will benefit any kid. The problem is ins. doesn't cover this. I guess that the only thing that I have to add is that we used to use 2 baby gates at the door to my daughters room. We would get the really tall ones, and place them one on top of the other. She would wake up in the middle of the night and start getting into things. We also have a really long, steep flight of stairs, with all bedrooms being upstairs. If we used just one baby gate, she would go over it. We always had to position them with the pressure arm and clamp to the outside, where she couldn't undo them.we are lucky here in britain it is free with the nhs,the only problem is the long waiting list,we tried the gate when he was smaller,he jerked it back and forth until it made abig hole in the wall,(took him weeks )we are booked to a special parenting class,see how that go
