I have a 13 year old daughter, a 9 year old son, and a 7 year old daughter. Don’t bother suggesting they all play together, because as hard as it is, the 9 and 7 year old team up on their older sister and have annoyed her and been so mean to her before that she has started crying. This isn’t really the section to describe what they do to her, but its mean. My son also have a bit of an anger issue. If he gets mad, he will freak and injure someone. Because of that, he always gets his way. I’ve tried everything and am at a loss for ideas. I’ve even tried to let them watch movies, but my son picked one movie, hogged the mini dvd player and wouldn’t let anyone else see it, only listen to it, plus it was a movie that everyone else hated. My daughter has tried reading and listening to her ipod, but her brother stole her book, hit her with it several times and ripped the pages. Then her sister grabbed the ipod and headphones and started licking it. We have tried many other things also.
Since we go on this trip about every couple months(to visit their grandparents), I really would like to know some ideas. What can my children do, seperately?
Plus I know my son is out of control but he visits his dad every second weekend who gives him alchohol and lets him do whatever he wants.
