Q. My sister`s son has broken my computer monitor and has thrown a heavy toy at glass-cased book shelf. My sister `s son has broken my computer monitor and has thrown a heavy toy at glass-cased book shelf. He is constantly tearing books and scribbling on the walls and we cannot control him. We have to keep an eye on him all the time. Since we live together this is causing a lot of friction in my sister, my brother-in-law and me. We tried sending him to child care centers as we all go to work, but he is very violent and destructive at these places too. Please advice.
A. You need to understand that he is a special child and needs care and also patience from the family members. You have to take care that if he is taking his medicines. You also need to look if he is not having any other problem which may be disturbing him. Try to find them as it may reduce his destructive behavior. You must consult with his doctor.
