does anybody has solution to this problem

Answer 1

stop worrying go to a homeopath. There are wonderful medicines in homeopathy which will cure your child in no time without any side effects.

Answer 2

this is a touchy situation a doctor may say a.d.d. if you get him evaluated make sure at school you limit his sugar intake that could be why he is acting up. also make sure he is sleeping a right amount 8-10 hours a day try giving him a nap during the day. He may be a bit old but that could make all the difference try notas far as him being afraid that is normal some kids are afraid of the dark for a long time and he may only be experiencing anxioty about you going out because he is adjusting to a new change. Has this been going on for a long time or did it just start if it just started maybe something simple triggered it think back to anything that has happend around the time thjis started

Answer 3

Get out and play badketball or football with him, something that is one on one with you. Quit getting on to him about school leave school at school. Put a nightlight in his room.Let him ride with you places and let him do tjhe talking.If your teacher is staying on him everyday she's not much of a teacher. Have a meeting with her and tell her to give him something to challenge his mind. If he is restless and non attentive and talkative, that sounds like stress or his nerves. Make sure he gets sleep,plays hard and has time for someone to show they really love him, ther is is no such thing as phyco fear in an 8 yr, old only child fear. Look out for members of family your leaving him with, is it everyone of them? Or maybe a certain one or two? He's trying to tell you something, by his actions tune in to him. After a three weeks, if there is still a problem go to good child counselor. Don't always blame child.

Answer 4

People are going to tell you to medicate him, as a simple solution. When in reality most kids just act up as a cry for more attention. They don't understand the difference between positive and negative attention from parents. Set your child down and have a talk with him about why he is acting this way. Ask why he is afraid! He may have a valid reason (in a child's world kinda valid) for his fears. Most kids need love, discipline, and support. Not medication.

Answer 5

Get a nightlight or leave a light on in another room and leave his door cracked. or you cold get a dimmer light for his room , gradually make it darker until he gets used to it. Or sleep in his room with him until he gets used to it. Or let it go . I am 22 and afraid of the dark. Its not a bad thing to sleep with a light on. It may even deter people from busting into your house. Sleeping with a light on won't kill him.Have him find something he is interested in , like a hobby . Something he can get wrapped up in to the exclusion of all else. So when you leave he won't feel so bad.
He is a social boy that is a good thing. Better than being unsociable. Kids are always inattentive. Think about it , did you like doing work or would you rather talk to your friends? Teachers always say things like that. ADD is an excuse for them to pick out kids and not do their jobs.

Answer 6

Your boy has a big imagination, unfortunately lack of good quality sleep is causing him trouble in school. It may be worth looking into his diet for anything that makes him buzzy in the evening. Make sure he is in bed by 8 so he can wind down in plenty of time to get a good amount of sleep.There is nothing wrong with leaving the light on for him. I never slept through till I was about 12 cause of the bloody monsters and stuff.

Answer 7

Please start with your child's teacher and request a meeting. Then, if it seems like a good idea, involve support staff like the school social worker or psychologist. If necessary, request an evaluation for your son so that you can find out what's going on with him AND get him help with any problems he may have.

The school staff can be part of your child's support team to get to the bottom of the problem and find solutions.

Answer 8

Well if it is fairly bad make sure you can try and communicate with him with spare time and be a little open with him and take it slowly in asking the questions when need be. Maybe he wants to have some attention, that is perfectly normal. So try and talk to him and make him feel he has some attention at home.

Answer 9

I don't want to jump to this conclusion, but he could have an attention defecit disorder. I would start with his pediatrician and ask what they make of his paranoia and restlessness. He might need to be evaluated by a counselor or psychologist. After that you can go from there. Good luck.

Answer 10

hell yeah, my nephew is the same way. bad as hell but scared of everything. That just means that it is time for that "back in the day game". you need to spend more time with him. get him a night light. spank that ass a little. now don't abuse the child but you need to teach that child that just because that teacher is not her/his parent does not mean that they shouldn't listen. Make the child understand that school is necessary and being bad will not make you stop sending him.
when it's time for bed it's okay to turn on the night lamp or leave the door cracked but be firm about staying in bed and going to sleep.

Answer 11

have you had your son checked by a Doctor?
maybe he needs more attention, is he being ignored, and or picked on by the other members in the family, is he hyperactive, talk to him maybe there is a problem in his life that you are ignoring or overlooking. be gentle and understanding what may seem like nothing to you may be a great deal in his life.
