[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I take care of a child like this. What works for me is to realize that I can’t and shouldn’t discipline this child. No time outs , I don’t take things away. When he hits me I apologize for whatever is upsetting him. I try to keep the peace and make him happy. IMO it’s what is best for my charge. I couldn’t do the job any other way. I still get hit but his outbursts are a lot less frequent.[/quote]

ARE YOU JOKING?!  Why in the world are you apologizing to hit who is hitting you?!

Neither one of you has the knowledge or experience to work with a child with this type of special needs.  It’s okay, most people wouldn’t enjoy it, even if they knew what to do.  But you have to be realistic for your safety and the child’s FUTURE!

You are setting up this child as a domestic abuser.  Or child abuser.  Or serial killer.  Or maybe something a little less toxic, maybe just a guy who goes cruising bars for fights.  Doesn’t matter.  He’s learning NOW that violence gets what he wants, and nobody else can/will do anything about it.

There will come a point that the behavior will be too ingrained to be changed if HE doesn’t want to start the process.  There will also come a point that he won’t care if he seriously hurts you, because everything is okay once it’s over, right?

Get out now.  Tell the parent now.  Tell the agency, if you found them through an agency.

Please!  Protect yourself and protect this child by allowing someone else with the right tools to help him.[/quote]
