Not so long ago, I had an "always smiling" "happy go lucky" little boy. Now all I see is a stressed out, child with a bad attitude and an even worse temper. He is constantly complaining of a stomache ache and migraines, to the point where weve rushed him to the ER numerous times. I know he is truly in pain because the pain wakes him at night, but nothing has been found. He does very well as far as his grades in school, but he doesnt get along well with a few children in his class. He doesnt seem to care for his teacher either, but he still seems to enjoy school. At home he cries over little things, and shows serious anger toward his younger brothers. No matter how my husband and I try to handle it, it isnt changing. We have our special day each week, when we do something that he wants to do, with no siblings around. We have him in soccer to build self esteem, but to no avail. In Feb. we start therapy. What can we do til then to help him become a happy child? Why is he so angry?
