Isn't it amazing how a simple thing can really get people worked up. I am sitting with Sheldon at the moment - he is doing exercises following on the X-box. The Kinect sensor does not read all of his movements and then tells his that he has left the area. Boy, but does he get frustrated. There is so much anger in this child, that I really don't know how we can control it.
He is so low on self esteem - as from what I heard today from his teacher - I have no idea how I am going to sort this out....But like everything in life - I will make a plan. ;-)
He then throws a tantrum telling me how he hates life - If only we could really understand the pressures that a child is under. We think we have problems. but with maturity we grow and are better equipped - how does an eight year old deal with things that they don't understand...
There are times as a parent that I feel so inadequate. If only there was more that I could do. But as I understand - times have changes, life has become harder and there is so much more for kids to contend with - or am I just over -protective ?
