why did god give kids ears when they don't use them?

Question

I have an eight year old boy that drives me crazy. All jokes a side, in sept. he'll be punised for a year I've done the time outs and I also stirped his room of everything but his bed. what can i do.

Answer 1

You're saying he's been grounded for one year straight? I think you should maybe find someone to talk to about this (a professional) and get suggestions. The first one that came to me may seem a bit radical and what not, but just a thought: Give it all back to him. Clean slate. Let him know everything in the past is in the past and he's ungrounded. Probably won't work. But it might change things completely. Afterall, what kid that's been living with nothing but a bed and no other 'fun stuff' wouldn't act out?

Answer 2

a year?? are you serious?? are you willing to ground yourself for a year, too? that's what you will be doing, in all essence. it won't last because you will be fed up after a few weeks. anyways, that's the way eight year old kids are. they don't listen. i didn't listen to my parents and neither did you. they push the boundaries all the time. if you can't deal with this now, what are you gonna do when he is fifteen? send him to boot camp? do you try just talking to him and not yelling at him? also, maybe he has hearing problems or some other medical problem such as adhd. what does he do that is so terrible? if it is truly that bad maybe you both should get some counseling. eight year olds don't know how to express their feelings properly. if he is upset or stressed about something, a counselor with expertise in child psychology will definately help both of you.

Answer 3

You might as well get use to it. My son is 23 now and our dayghter is 15 and we went through the " deaf ears syndrome " with both of them. It lasted clear into their teens, our daughter is just coming out of it, and all that seemed to change was the excuses. The older they got, the more intricate the excuse. We did everything you have done and more. I think we read every book on the subject and talked with several therapists and finally what worked for us was to take away their personal time when it mattered most to them ( games, trips, partys, etc.) They finally came around. Good Luck!

Answer 4

I can't answer this I'm shaking my head at the bad grammar and misspellings. This is an example of a bad parent.
My wife and I raised two fine young men now 23 and 25. They always heard me. I was the disciplinarian. I was consistent in discipline and taught them social skills and culture. And above all, they know I listened to them and love them too.

Answer 5

He must be in the hyperactive category of children?. I have read a book related to hyper active kids, these kids need extra attention and special treatment, such as you must study their activty and trigger them with the things that they will be interested to do. You can't punished them because its their natural behavior. Why don't u try to analyse his activity and behaviour and filled up his time with a lot of fun activity.All the best to you.

Answer 6

Well what types of things is he doing? Not everything desreves a time out, somethings need spankings or toys taken away. If he is really bad you can always look into sending him to a bootcamp for kids.

Answer 7

Have you taking him to a psychologist for an evaluation. It sounds like that would be a starting point. Then you also need family counseling.

What did he do that is so awful, that he is bing punished for a year?

Answer 8

That is so ture. When i was a kid if i did not ues me ears Mom warm my rear. Then the ears would hear.

Answer 9

I know what you mean my two year old does not seem to hear me either. Stick to your guns, he should get the message!

Answer 10

is he hyperactive or does he have adhd? sounds like maybe a little professional help would help, you sound like a good parent and liek you are very lovign and caring.
