He throws fits when I tell him no, when its time for bed, and any time he doesn't get his way! He has been doing this since he was about 3 and they haven't gotten better. He doesn't ever throw himself down and kick, he just cries. What really scares me is a couple times when he has been sent to his room, he mentioned killing himself. He had a friend (his age) die of cancer 2 years ago, so maybe thats where that comes from. We have tried everything; grounding him, ignoring him, (I don't agree) but yes we have also spanked him. He doesn't throw fits at school, or around his friends. He is a straight "A" student and his teacher is shocked when I ask about fits? I am so worried because his sister is ADHD, my mother is bipolar and my nephew is depressed, my sister has OCD. So yes "problems" run in my family. Please tell me he will out grow this!!
