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.
