We have an 8 year old boy He is very bright, but he thinks he is smarter than we are. If I tell him some information he will come at me as if I am lying. We decided to home school the 2nd half this year, he has improved over many things. But when I assign him work he decides it's not what he is suppose to be doing. He honestly believes that his job in life is to irritate and cause trouble with the family (he saw this on TV and lives by it.) He can be very sensitive, and often has emotional breakdowns, but it is confused with extreme whining. We spend lots of time with him, but he requires more than anyone else in the home. We have 3 other children(girls). His new belief is that he is superior not only to his parents, but over women and other races. My husband and I are not this way. I think this idea may coming from another family member that he he does not see very often but has a strong influence on him, what this person says is gold. We are very consistent, nothing breaks the cycle
