I really feel for you. I know how bad it can be. I also have a 7 yr old and this is the worst age for them. They become mouthy and think they know it all, and like to push your buttons every minute they can. And to top it off, your son has a very high IQ. He needs to be put into class's that will challenge him. Have you talked to the school about giving him a test so that he can skip grade levels so he can be more challenged. You should start puting him into activities so that he can also have an escape for his energy, like Karate or soccer, and get him outside running around so he tires himself. When all else fails, start to take away his stuff. Ground him, and don't take him with you places that are fun. When he realizes that he is missing out on alot because of his behavior, he might start to straighten up. If your frustrations get really bad go talk to a doctor for yourself and your wellbeing, and then go and talk to his pediatrician for his well being.

It sounds like he needs more discipline. The biggest thing that I can tell you is that you need to follow through with whatever punishment that you set. He is testing you right now.If you don't follow through with a punishment that makes him think about what he has done, then he will continue to walk all over you. Make sure that the punishment fits the crime(so to speak). Have you also had your child tested for a learning disability. IQ or not, there are a lot of learning disabilities that have nothing to do with intelligence. My son is 8. He has also had his IQ tested and scored very high, but in school he was doing very poorly. I was at my wits end, when a family friend finally talked me into having him tested. He has Central Auditory Processing. Which means that the muscles in his inner ear do not function properly and sounds do not translate to his brain normally. He is not deaf, but the way he hears is different. Since he has been tested and we know the problem and how to deal with it our world is entirely different. I don't think that it is a good idea to try and move your son ahead in school yet because socially I don't think he would be ready, and it could be more damaging in the long run. I hope that I have helped you. Good luck! - P.S. this age is also considered the next terrible twos. This is the next age when the child is trying to find themselves. (I think that I have read every child psychology book there is)

at the starting up, you fairly do want to ward off with the Civil conflict topic. no longer perfect! conflict, lack of life, destruction, and slavery are by no potential an perfect topic for a wedding ceremony. in truth, i locate that very nerve-racking. a number of your visitors would also be uneasy with this manner of topic. sit down with him and performance a communication. First, ask him precisely how he plans to finance the large wedding ceremony he needs. If he wouldn't have a reliable plan - which i think - arise with a funds at the same time and be sure what you ought to do funds pleasant. Your funds may be functional you identify the client list. as well - if he's the single which needs the large wedding ceremony, he must be the single planning it. My wager is that he's totally clueless about how intense priced weddings are. thankfully, my fiance and that i planned each thing at the same time. the actually part of the marriage we disagreed about became the client list. He needed to ask almost each human being he's conscious, and that i needed to keep it small. Even reducing the client list, we are nonetheless having about 100 and fifty human beings there. Oh properly - he would not innovations figuring out to purchase the extras, so this is okay. each thing else we stated in detail and planned at the same time.

You need to get to a child psychologist. It helps immensely there may be something wrong with your child that you are not aware of. The child psychologist not only helps your child but helps you as a parent help to deal with the behavior, and most importantly helps you understand why the child behaives the way he does.

hmmm.....sounds like YOU need a break yourself. Try to arrange something like that for just an hour if you could. Next I would look for reference materials on how to raise kids. I strongly recommend stuff from James Dobson PhD. Best of luck

He sounds like a handful for sure...this is drastic but ever thought of home schooling him? And when you go shopping leave him at home. Explain to him that until his behavior in public is acceptable he will be staying home. I know that would be tough on you but it seems like nothing is working here so far. And he's only 6, yikes...where does it go if it's not stopped now.

I know a child exactly like this. Does your child have random outbreaks in class? Does he act much younger than he really is? School might be to much for him. Is he autistic? School also just might be boring for him, since he is practicaly a genius.
Good Luck!!!!!!

hello, i hope i could help you in this.. but with my young age, i have seen so many realities in my life already.. and with that i opt to help you and so many other women out there.
you have a problem that so many americans undergo with that whatever you do you just cant control your son's behavior. here are some of my points that i hope would help you.
1.) PRAY AND READ THE BIBLE - if you believe that God is the answer to all questions then He should be the first option that you should apply on this situation.. pray for your child.. that's the best step you could make..
2.) SEARCH YOURSELF - you have been focusing on you finding a way of solving your problem about your son. you have occupied your time on thinking what was wrong with your child and thick that you already did everything that you forgot the reality that you are HIS MOTHER. ask yourself what you were when you were a child, maybe there are experiences and situations in your life that are still unresolved thats why you just can't resolve your son's problem.know yourself and you will eventually understand your child..
3.) TALK TO YOUR KID PROPERLY - we do have the right and the responsibility in talking to our child whenever necessary because we are older than them and because we are their parents. but remember children at ages 3 to 10 are just immitating whatever older people like us do, think & say. so if you want to talk to your son, talk pleasantly in a low tone voice but with the heart and authority that you are his mother.. talk to him regularly and dont embarass him in front of many people just because you were humiliated by his attitude. talk about his interest, remember he is way too intelligent than usual kids so he better be talked in a different manner but with the authority as his mother. everytime he do his thing then talk to him and ask him about what he just did, as him if he thinks it is right or wrong.. then tell him that it is not right in a way that you are not commanding him not to do it again but letting him realize for himself that it shouldn't be done again.
4.) MAINTAIN BODY CONTACT - when your kid is talking to you, maintain eye contact and hug him always, the same should be done when your doing point number 3. the eyes is the gateway to the spirit of a person so when your son realizes that everytime you talk to him you were really looking intimately in his eyes, he would feel that you really are sincere to whatever you are saying.. always rub his face and hold his hand, because touch can heal even the wound of the spirit..
5.) UNDERSTAND HIS BRAIN - whoa! your kid has a high IQ!! thats good, so you better buy him materials to further enhance is brain.. buy him books, encyclopedias, dictionaries and other reading materials that would be helpful for him.. buy him a Bible, that would surely help him.. enjoy his interest like sports, video games and other kid stuffs.. give him time to enjoy his youthfullness..
6.) SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP - bring your child with you in a psychiatrist and then tell em your problem, hopefully they would give you some methods and techniques. just be open to many possibilities that you can do in order to help you and your child
HAVE FAITH, everything will be allright just trust yourself and love your boy.. there will still be a chance because he is still a child.. just pray and believe in the power of God Almighty..
Thats all and may at least i could been a help for you!
