LOL, Deb, the scary thing is by the time your kids are teenagers I will still be going through it all. So much for starting early hey Things have calmed down alittle around here, but as it always is with kids tomorrow is yet another day. Who knows what the mood will be tomorrow when it comes time to get ready and out of the house on time for footy.
He won't take any medication anymore and I'm fine with that, just wish his behaviour could be modified.
He was off school sick (supposidy headaches) on Wednesday and he was so sweet. Well later when Tehya and Noah were asleep. I was sitting on the lounge and he lay down and put his head on my lap for a cuddle. Was very nice, very few and far between now he's a big boy...

Hey Trish, am starting to have the same sort of problems with my nearly 10 y/o but have gotten Steve Biddulph's book "Raising Boys", Have only just started to read it but he says that at 14 testosterone levels rise nearly 800%. He recommends having some male mentors around (other than DH or ex). He goes on to explain that in other cultures boys at this age were taken away from their mums and the men of the village used to teach him. We in the west have stopped this but Steve says they need it still. Can his football coach or some other male in authority help you. Any way read the book as it is very helpful and is explaining to me what is happening with my son now.
