My 7 year old is emotionally disabled. She has disruptive behavior disorder. She's extremely smart and creative, she can be a sweetheart when she wants. Most of the time she chooses to be pissed at the world for no reason whatsoever. She literally sits and thinks of ways to hurt peoples feelings. She hit dead on with me today. She had to draw a family picture today. 6 stick people with minimal detail. Then me. Compared to the others I am a giant. I have huge balloon hands and each hand has huge balloon fingers. She handed it to me, I smiled and said "that's cute" she said, "you really are that fat you know." Before my surgery she never commented on my size, now she tells me atleast 3 times a day how fat I am.

She's 7. 7! 7 year olds are supposed to be sweet and innocent, not malicious and conniving. Nobody has ever been mean or insulting to her. How did she get this way? Even as a baby she was impossible to make happy. She is in counseling but I just don't know what to do. I'm at my wits end with her. It's ridiculous that I have to guard myself against my 7 year old because she loves to and is very good at hurting people's feelings. She's so freaking smart, I just wish she used her abilities more positively.

She's nice and sweet when I'm doing to please her but the second I slip she immediately goes for the kill shot.

Sorry I'm rambling, I just needed to vent.

I wouldn't wish this behavior on anyone but its somehow comforting to know I'm not alone. So far we haven't found any rhyme or reason with Hannah. I guess some kids are just born this way. Hannah has thrown a fit so bad before that she literally knocked herself out banging her head on the floor. We were in wal mart at the time. She didn't injure herself luckily.

Does your son have trouble falling and or staying asleep?

I also meant to add that Hannah used to flip the furniture and things like your son. She also bit me when she was almost 3 and she refused to let go. I was 7 months pregnant and was at a book store. She kept running off so I picked her up and had her on my hip. She bit me on the breast and wouldn't let go. I yelled it hurt so bad. I was bawling like a baby, right there in the middle of borders. It finally took my friend pushing hard on the bridge of her nose to get her to let go. I was hurt and embarrrassed, everyone was staring and Hannah started screaming, I had blood all over my shirt (still have a scar). It was awful. I thank God for the help she is receiving. On an upside to that awful biting incident. I guess the pushing up/ bak on her nose worked because that's the last time she bit anyone.

My daughter is 4 and has behavioral issues. She has them to the extreme measures of turning and punching herself in the face. I had CPS in our life until finally she threw the tantrum in the social workers office. Now I am getting the help for her that I have been begging for.

Thanks god your getting help now

It was a struggle but worth her being happy now

It was a struggle but worth her being happy now

She has no clue the picture bothered me the way it did. I have learned from the past not to show it. I'm pretty strict on actions/consequences. No tv' date=' no outside play, no friends over etc.. she gets rewarded for good behavior, punished for bad.

I've definitely got my work cut out for me. ADHD & Bipolar run in both mine and my husbands families very strongly. So far out of my 5 kids 3 have issues. 10 year old is ADHD, 7 y.o. you know about, 5 y.o. we are having her assessed for ADHD (pretty sure that's it) she's one wild kid and has zero regard for others personal boundaries to include total strangers. Twins, I'm praying and keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm convinced its all the steroids and preservatives in our foods today.

Another theory I have on Hannah (7 y.o.) is that she has these problems because her twin didn't live. I lost her twin @ 28 weeks. It never crossed my mind until I had Lilee & Rowan. It's like they have a gravitational pull towards each other. Maybe that bond being lost is why Hannah is so off kilter.
