Feeling like having son put into care his behaviour is so bad

CharliesDad

Hi,

My wife and I are seriously considering having our 7 year old son taken into care, his behaviour is so difficult to live with.

Everyday he's agressive and attacks my wife, her hands and arms are covered in scratches.

He won't stop eating or asking for food, when we say no he attacks us.

I obviously don't want to send him away, but he's making life a living hell for us. I getting very worried for my wife.

 

Anyone got suggestions with what we can do?

  • Hi so sorry that you are feeling this way. I have a seven year old as well. He has severe autism and ADHD and i am a single parent so believe me when i say i know just how hard it can be.

     Have you considered firstly that your son may have another condition on top of the autism....one that might have treatment options?

    Secondly is your son recieving enough support in school (a bad time at school can manifest itself at home) My son recieves full 1:1 support at school the entire day and 2:1 whilst on trips due to the severity of his behavioral issues.

     Thirdly have you heard of ABA therapy? You could perhaps contact social services to see if they could reccommend a trained person.

    Fourthly how is his speech etc could it just be sheer frustration?

    Fithly I suggest that at both home and school you get a person to come and observe him, detailing the before, during and after the unacceptable behaviour event. It could help you pinpoint what is actually setting him off and causing the behaviour it could be something as simple as your wifes perfume!

    Good luck if you ever need a chat i'm here xx
