[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guys, this woman was just hit by her son.  And she clearly has a difficult situation at home.

Can you all please be careful and kind with your tone?[/quote]

I hear what you're saying but it really seems like the OP needs a wake up call.  She isn't protecting the older brother from the violence perpetuated by the younger brother.  It doesn't excuse the older child's violence but it sure does explain it.  She needs to take immediate action because her kids are out of control.  I agree with the poster who says she needs to call the younger son's therapist and get a consult immediately.  She may need to even separate the kids or have the younger son placed into a residential facility for a bit.[/quote]

PP you are responding to.  I agree- she asked for advice, so people should give it…kindly. It is the nasty tone of many of these responses that I take issue with.  [/quote]

I completely agree. I know this may shock some people here, but not everyone has access to neuropsych evaluations as needed and can afford to pay out of pocket for a psychiatrist. I’m sure she’s doing her best she can.

OP, when I step between siblings, I try and correct both in a calm voice. “Larlo, don’t scratch your brother. Larla, you should not run up to your brother to bug him.”

Your kids are older. I would probably demand they separate into different rooms immediately or the internet goes off for rest of the night. [/quote]
