It's been several months since I've been here, I can't

[Anonymous]

It's been several months since I've been here, I can't even explain the reason, not sure if I know. Two years ago I started praying for my grandson, he was 4 at that time. My daughter adopted him at birth and the biological parent was a hard drug user. Which may have caused his problems. His behavior is out of control, he's physically and verbally aggressive and will use words that we have no idea where they came from, then he'll turn into the sweetest little boy. He's seen 2 child psychiatrist and been on medication but nothing changes. His school wants him in special ed, and in my heart I know he don't belong there. He needs Jesus to touch him and my prayers have been on going, but still they're not answered...I've prayed so much and unfortunately I'm slipping into depression and feel defeated....I try to lay this down and let Jesus take over, but I can't, I just keep picking it up and trying to fix it myself, and we all know that's not going to help either. I know that sometime we have to be told "no", but I can't take that either. I want/need a miracle, just a touch from Jesus will fix this. If a person can die from a broken heart, I must be close...I just want a normal life for him, he's had enough in the short time he's been on earth. He can't continue the way he is, and nothing on this earth can help him, but I know that just a touch from Jesus is all he needs....please pray for his healing...I'm so tired.

Has this child been diagnosed with ODD or ADHD? I have a grandson like that that I am raising. It is not easy and I refuse to have him medicated.

I think this is both hereditary and probably due to what the mother was doing whilst pregnant as in foreign substances.

The child needs to be in a special behavior class at school if he is uncontrollable since he won't be able to cope in a normal classroom environment. The class sizes are too large and the teachers are not equipped to handle this. Even in the special behavior class, there will still be problems.

This is very hard to deal with and taxing. You need an iron will and lots of patience. Whenever the child acts out don't take it personally at all. Set boundaries and don't give in. There is no easy answer for all of this. Hopefully, over time he calms down some. I find that if you set boundaries and stick to them no matter what it works.

I also found that the counseling offered in the school didn't work at all. Sometimes the doctors and school staff don't have all the answers and may not be handling him correctly and making the situation worse. If you get him in a special class then you can get an IPP done on him and agree on how things are handled and what supports he receives. If you are in the US then you have better support regarding not being discriminated on based on a mental disability than what is offered here in Canada. Also perhaps consider Fetal Alcohol Syndrome since the mother was a drug user. That most definitely has affected him along with genetics.

thank you...I'm in  Arizona, and he attends a Charter School and just had an ISP and will probably be eligible for state services.  I believe that Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is in the mix also.  I'm trying so hard as is my daughter but sometime all I can do is cry cause there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel.  The aggressive behavior is amazing sometime and leaves us feeling very defeated.   Don't misunderstand, 'cause I will never give up, and I keep praying for a miracle and watching and waiting but sometime doubt slips into my mind and I struggle to get myself focused.   Boundaries are in place but difficult as he goes right through them....anyway I guess you know how difficult it can be, and I appreciate your advise.  Thank you and God Bless...

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
