Rose in BC Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 My 13 yr ds is giving us a run for our money. Can I ask for prayer for peace in the family and a softening of this boy's heart. He is loved. He is having a difficult time following rules (to an extreme). Its causing upheaval in our home. btw I believe some of our issues are related to attachment disorder. We adopted this boy when he was 4. Its been a roller coaster but now add "teenager" into the mix and we're honestly at our whit's end. Pray for wisdom and direction for what to do next. Thanks.

Rose in BC Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Thank you guys. Its a real tough situation for all of us and we're definitely at a cross roads. I'm so thankful that I could post this tonight. There's no one really irl I wanted to burden this Easter weekend. I did confide in one family member who said "that's what happens when you adopt an older child". (Uh no. We have another child that was also adopted at four and we don't have those issues.) You know, it has been a tough time for us. Thanks for listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosie_0801 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Might this help? http://www.laughyourway.com/what-motivates-you/ It should tell you what your boy values about himself, so you can make an effort to behave as though you value it about him too. :grouphug: Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
