Real Families Presents: The Battle against My Troubled Son's Aggression

[@jacquelinemamahiggzhiggins2951]

George is absolutely darling and what a great big brother wanting to fix his sister‘s illness👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰 I love the way he quickly shuffles around the house☺️ it’s so cute and funny☺️

[@LifeOfNigh]

I wish Jo and the parents would have pointed out to the little super hero that the superheros he sees on TV aren't real life. That there are real life hero's who might be able to help his sister or others like his sister in the future, and that he could be one of those. He could be a doctor, nurse, scientist, researcher... So many other real hero's that he can strive to be.

[@marshmallow4646]

Yeah, it could give him a new goal and encourage schoolwork

[@MsJubjubbird]

I think he's a bit young for that. Kids that age are still into Santa and have imaginary friends and stuff. They can't really tell reality from fantasy at that age. Let's not shatter children's illusions. He will learn soon enough as he develops cognitively.

When George came out without his costume I had a smile as big as his and my eyes were filled with tears.

[@samanthajohnston9269]

I really relate to the mom who is heartbroken to admit she sometimes " hates" her child. I'm the parent of a very difficult child and I have felt so guilty for hating my child's behaviors so much that I didn't like them. It's somewhat comforting to know that it's probably more common than I realized and that my guilt is only making it worse.

[@kiwilvrr]

Hey :)! Im a mom myself and I would love to help you out!! What kind of behavioral issues are you concerned about? I would love to help you strengthen your bond with your child :)

I think what you’re feeling is both normal and probably far more common than you’d think. Problem is that like you, many people don’t want to actually publicly admit it. If they did then this would be far less a problem.

[@stancexpunks]

I know he’s just a kid but how can he see his mom crying and so distraught and not care and even act up more? I remember making my dad cry when I was like 5 after I had left a popsicle on his work files and ruining them. That was the first and I think only time I’ve seen him cry. I think he was just really stressed out. Anyway, it made me feel really bad and guilty and I never wanted it to happen again

[@jaydaye6397]

I’m sorry. The fact that there’s a little boy who dresses like a super hero because he thinks he’ll be able to heal his sister with his powers one day is too much for my 3am heart to handle

Something's changed in 7 decades. I'm 70 years old and if I'd bit, hit, punched or kicked my mother, I probably wouldn't have made it to 7 !!! Many of the parents of children in the 50's had served in WWII. Their experiences in the forces taught them how to give instructions and provide consequences for unacceptable behaviour. Consequences are what the boy who punched his mother desperately needed.

[@ashleecharters3838]

Awww George is soo beautiful. Wow his very sweet!

[@ababy6074]

He's very sweet, not 'his'.

[@D-me-dream-smp]

George’s family is so beautiful and loving. I hope they manage to find a way to grow and prosper happily like the deserve. Jack’s mother needed to change her mindset. You need to believe it in your mind that you are in control and that there are strong boundaries and expectations that can NOT be crossed and behaviours that won’t be tolerated (like aggression, disrespect, violence). While I know that things are easier said than done a lot of what Jo does is make parents aware of their OWN behaviour. Jack’s mother communicated in such a wish washy way that poor Jack is confused about where the real boundaries and expectations were.

[@JMac-27]

That first kid is screaming for male interaction, rough housing. Put him in sports, he'll get that structure guidance and positive reinforcement from a man that little boys need so bad. Sports are so important, it gets out energy and really gives kids that bit if time from a male role model

I was one of those kids that grew up online and had hardly any time spent being played with or taught how to ride a bike or play chess and at 22 im struggling daily with issues, unable to hold strong relationships and friendships and there really isnt many resources to help a young adult who was raised online and doesn't know how to interact with people >.

[@Dobviews]

You are not alone sweet one. I see so much of this as a member of the BigSisters program. I would highly suggest going to a local soup kitchen or homeless community. The personal interaction there can help you get over those communication bumps. If that is too much for you, I suggest joining a bird watching group or find a hobby that includes being around small numbers of people. It takes time but you can learn even later in life and carry on.

[@stancexpunks]

I find that’s the case for a lot of people your age. They’re all extremely socially awkward I believe from growing up online and having minimal real world interactions. I have many cousins from diff families that are under 20 and they’re so socially awkward that they can’t even say hi back to me whenever I say hi. They just awkwardly look away and stay silent. Another thing I noticed was most of them love anime too. I’m 29 so I grew up with internet too but my generation wasn’t constantly online 24/7 like todays youth. Actually 1 if my 5 siblings did grow up addicted to the comp and online games and he’s also socially awkward, never had a gf and he’s 40. So when I have kids I’m not going to let them grow up on the internet. Parents today don’t know the negative effects of doing that since all this was realized relatively recently but I’m hoping now that most of us know this now, we can prevent it from happening with our own children

[@GEKENILWORTH]

Yes, I agree! It's called trichotillomania and is a compulsion disorder, affecting adults as well as children. I suffered from this as a kid. It's not done to manipulate anyone. It's like OCD and sometimes requires medication and/or therapy. It's a way to relieve anxiety. If your child has this, please don't look at it as a behavioral issue, but take your child to a pediatrician or therapist. They are a lot of treatments available these days.
