I was wondering if anyone had a 7 yr old that acted like they were already a teen? How do you deal with the every day drama?
Do you play with him? Does he respond to the old feather on the stick or a laser light? Try to play with him every day, he will probably respond in some fashion and act like a younger cat.Originally Posted by Bush7105

Not that I can help with that but it makes the 'play with a feather on a stick' suggestion rather amusing, sorry

He is just mouthy and he has a bad temper. He also is still throwing tantrums and it gets hard at times.

Have you had him allergy tested? It could be something in his diet.Originally Posted by Bush7105
But I like the feather stick idea maybe I should try itHe is just being a bratI am not sure if it is because he gets up at 6 am for the bus he goes to bed at eight if I sent him to bed earlier I do not believe it would be fair to him. He is just mouthy and he has a bad temper. He also is still throwing tantrums and it gets hard at times. (only so much one person can take ). I guess i should have let you know I was talking about my son not my cat huh (brain fart) sorry
That's something I've noticed in kids (around them all the time, although I don't have one). The hyper/smart-alecky kids are usually the ones who are drinking sodas and winning over parents and grandparents to get candy. Not saying the OP is doing this... but something i've noticed.Originally Posted by pee-cleaner
Drop food colorings, high fructose corn syrup and possibly milk from his diet. All those things set off my child.
That's always an excellent idea! Definitely get rid of artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, and artificial flavors. It's proven that they contribute to ADHD or ADHD-like behavior. Plus, they are poisons that nobody should be eating.Originally Posted by pee-cleaner
