[QUOTE="Shelia, post: 230350, member: 6595"] Hi everybody....I'm also new here...my first post as a matter of fact. I have a 5 yr old son named Jacen. He has not been diagnosed with anything as of yet....but I suspect he may have auditory processing/ADHD/ODD. He can be a very sweet little boy but he has exhibited cruel moments that have worried me also. He has always wanted a puppy and our neighbors gave him one. It wasn't the time I would have chosen....but Jacen was thrilled and it was a cute little dog. The puppy was sweet and he took a liking to me right away. He loved to cuddle....but it was obvious to me that he tried his best to avoid Jacen. On one occasion I caught Jacen about to THROW this little baby dog and he was laughing. I grabbed the puppy out of his arms and had to really bite my tongue to keep from screaming at him "WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!" My voice was shaking but I told him....this dog is just a baby....and it's our job to take care of him...to love him...not hurt him. I made him go with me the next day and take the dog back...."because it deserved to live with a little boy that would take care of him....not hurt him". I hope that might have sunk into his little brain that there are consequences to hurting other people or animals. The little girl next door knocks the fire out of him and he doesn't hit back.....but he does hit me or my husband sometimes when he is angry. I have seen other kids that seem to get some sort of "kick" out of being intentionally mean.....almost like a high. Maybe it makes them feel powerful...for a moment. I just know it is very troubling.....Good Luck, Shelia [/QUOTE]
