I have a child that is completely uncontrollable, he is 3. The doctors and state officials want to put him on medication, but I think that if I put him on an 8ft leash inside my house then he can't hurt himself or my other children (which he does), or destroy things (which he does). I put him in his room and he tears the walls, window, bed and hangers up. I figure if I put him on a leash in the living room he can still interact with the family and be put on an award system. Each 30min that he behaves he will get a new toy, when he misbehaves he will lose a toy. I'm feel as though I'm out of options, time outs don't work, room time doesn't work, spankings don't work, hot sauce doesn't work, etc. I love my son and if I can't get a grip on him now, what am I going to do when he's older? I have no problem letting the doctors medicate, but I know that he is going to need some type of behavioral help also. Any ideas, any one? Thank you!!
