Please, please pray or continue praying for my grandson Andrew. He is only 6 but is having severe behavior problems. He has had “in school suspension” for the second time. (and only in Kindergarten) Being a teacher I know how serious this is and am very concerned. I have prayed and prayed for him. Tonight when I heard of this second suspension my heart sank as I’ve prayed novena’s for him. No doubt it will not surprise you that after hearing this the first words that came to my mind were , “see…God doesn’t answer prayer, you might as well give up…it won’t work.”…most definately the Evil one at work. Please pray for this little boy brought into our family through adoption. He needs your prayers!!! We need wisdom in helping Andrew.

THANK YOU for praying!

In His Love,

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Is he seeing someone for his behaviour problems? Has adhd been ruled out? I’d seriously doubt that behaviour problems could vanish just like that overnight*, the behaviour problems are telling you that something is not working well ,something needs fixing. If it were me I’d try to get to the root cause(s).

*God can do anyhting, but i just don’t think that’s his usual way of dealing with things.
 
Prayers said for Andrew that he be brought into your family through adoption and that you are given wisdom by the Holy Spirit for guidance in helping this young child of God.
Try not to be discouraged as God works for the good of those who love him and who have been caled according to his purpose (Romans). It would seem to me you are called for the purpose of helping your grandson,
God bless,
Mary
 
Many behavior problems, especially at age 6, can stem from psychosocial or neurological issues. Examples: depression, neglect, abuse, visual or auditory processing, sensory integration, etc…all of these and more can be helped by early intervention and prayer. Dear God, help Andrew’s family and friends find the right tools to help him feel whole and calm and open to love and learning. Amen.
 
Holy Michael the Archangel defend us in the day of battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the Power of God,
thrust down to hell satan and all the wicked spirits,
who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession and was left forsaken. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, a sorrowful sinner. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen
 
I would wonder what is going on with the parenting and other things, as well.

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.
Amen.

Respectfully.

Behaviorial problems at age 6 don’t have to be identified with ADHD or treated with various psychothropic drugs. All to often mental or drug therapy options are tried on young boys as a means of first response. If a child is misbehaving it has to be mental in nature when in fact it may be a case of boundaries and expectations not being set. Parents not being a leader but trying to be best buddies with their children and them wanting to be liked… It could also be a case where something else that is happening in their lives that they don’t know how to cope with or just can’t cope with.

I lost my father at that age and had a heck of time coping with that unimaginable loss and the remaining parent trying to be a friend rather than a leader. There are a lot of issues that need to be looked into before trying to act like a psychologist and diagnosing a mental disorder without knowing anything about the child.

I would rather have had a leader than an older best friend. Talk with the child and try to find out what’s going on in his world rather than making judgements that you will never be able to overcome in the future. It may sound inane but at this age children can’t cope with everything that is thrown at them. It’s not a TV reality show but their lives. A lot of things that happened at that age to me were never able to get passed and it did cause a lot of problems in later years.

Sit down and talk with the child, find out what’s going around in their head. But be a parent and do set realistic goals and expectations with rewards and consequences. They have a lot of friends. But they also need parents who are leaders and not trying to be like an older friend. Above all they don’t need drug treatments or a psychologist who’ll make a rush to judgement.

There’s enough drugs out there that they can get a hold of without prescribing other controlled substances that is supposed to be for their well being.

Above all do talk to them and find out what they’re thinking about. At 6 they are not rational thinking adults.
 
Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Praying, and God bless you for recognizing the temptation for what it was. 🙂
