Behavior Problems

So it`s not a secret that our Benjamin has always been a challenge. He is always the child seeking out ways to get into trouble. Always the one to defy the rules or to push them as far as he can take.
Discribing Ben`s behavior to others is very hard as it all sounds like normal 6 year old traits, however take normal and times it by ten and that is our Ben.

Does he have a behavior issue? It`s hard to say, but we shall see after talking with a Pediatrician what coarse of action needs to be taken.

Thee most frustrating part of this is that no matter what Jeremy and I do he shows no improvement. His behavior is causing such stress in the family, we are out of options and just dont know how to handle his episodes any longer.

Up until now I have excused his behavior, and just accepted it as just his nature. But now that he is in school and causing trouble outside of the home I don`t want him to be labelled as the "bad" child. Although I don`t want him to have a behavioral disorder I do, because at least we would have reason for it..people would extend him more patience and understanding. At least then we can have a coarse of actions to improve it and hopefully manage it.
Perhaps then to I won`t feel like such a bad parent.

To Build Up or Tear Down

I truly believe that the majority of people never intend to be hurtful or inconsiderate. That being said I so many times am caught questioning that very fact. How can people be so uncaring, cold hearted and careless?
To build Up or tear down is in the hand of each of us. I think all to often we tend to forget how powerful a simple word can be.
Why is it that some find it so easy to believe the very worst, to accept and speak about careless words spoken with no fact or basis?
Satan will ensure that before the end, he has attacked each and every family member of the Christian congregation. Spreading rumours and gossiping is doing nothing but assisting Satan in his cause. Uprooting the very core of the congregation and tearing it apart is his goal, So it is not a shock then to see the Faithful being attacked, these final days will be a trial for us all.
Mom and Dad I love and admire your faithful coarse, and so does Jehovah. Keep fighting the fine faith.
