My son is 9 years old and he is constantly trying to set things on fire. He will do it anywhere from outside to inside the house. One night I woke up cause I could smell something burning, I went downstairs the smell was coming from my daughters room, where my son had slept that night. My daughter was sleeping upstairs. My son was not in there when I entered, but her garbage can was full of ashes from papers he was burning. Then last night I went upstairs to check on him and my other son and the bathroom stunk like smoke. I found pieces of toilet paper where the corners had been burnt. I do not know how to brake him of this, but it is scary to know that your child is playing around with fire. I have tried grounding him to his room, taking everything out except his bed and dresser. Everything I have tried does not seem to work. Does anyone have any advice on what I could possibly do with him?
