[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 691581, member: 20051"] Kingrose, I think it's nice that you care enough to want to help. I just think that you are in a bad position to do so. It is very hard when you are not the parent and the parent doesn't seem to want help. I have a friend who has a son whose behavior is terrible, but she can't or won't see it. For me it was just a matter of separating us from him, because he was aggressive towards my kids. For you, I'm guessing that it's not that easy. I like KSM's advice. Since the older children feel neglected maybe you can make an effort to spend time with them doing things where you can bond and talk. I don't believe video games are one of those things. The other suggestion I like of KSM's is to separate yourself as much as possible from the boy when he exhibits negative behavior. If he is playing inappropriate games then take the dogs and go into your room (if that's a possibility) Saying, "I don't like this game it is too {whatever}" When he begins to act out, again, quietly take the dogs and walk away. Maybe if he feels like he isn't getting attention for his behavior he will tone it down. I don't know. Like KSM said, maybe if he sees his siblings getting attention for less aggressive behavior he will tone his down. I am not anti-video game, by any means, but I do believe that there are some games that are not appropriate for young children. I also see what you are trying to illustrate about the older child and the vacation. I don't think that it is so much she is demanding a vacation, but trying to get her parents to spend time with her. I think that is sad. [/QUOTE]
