[QUOTE="Andy, post: 281380, member: 5096"] We do feel your concerns over your son. Many of us have also had the same questions regarding ourselves and our own kids. I KNOW you are going to be a great mom because you are actively looking for ways to help him. You are definetly good enough for him. It is just hard to see the positive results when he is struggling so much. You love him and see his heart. Others often times only see the actions and thus he gets into trouble. If we could all see past those unwanted behaviors to a child/person who is trying the best he or she can and is asking for help the only way they know how, maybe more teachers and authority figures would have the patience it needs to reach the difficult children. Yes, it is impossible to have a routine with almost all teenage sitters. Hang in there and continue to do what you can. What does the sitter do? Does she EVER do anything WITH difficult child? When I was helping with babysitting clinics, I would encourage the sitters to actually play games with the kids. "The more you are involved with the child, the less chance the child has in getting hurt or causing trouble." Her job is to keep him safe while you are gone. Maybe you can give her some suggestions of things he likes to do that she can do with him? [/QUOTE]
