prayer for patience

[starlight]

My child has tendencies to get really hyper and act up: hit, bite, pinch, yell, spit. The sqiggles just set in.

I am a person who usually has so much patience, but at times I feel like I lose them. I feel so bad, but it's frustrating to get beat up and after awhile I can snap a little or a lot. It's random. I don't want to do that. It's not often, but I need to give support as I try to understand the issues. I can work with them and have been learning a lot more about ADHD.

Now that I know where it all comes from I can take a step back and find a way to help calm down the squiggles in my child.

I could sure use some prayers in the area of patience and understanding. I feel like a really rotten person that I can't always just turn the other cheek when it comes to this issue.

Did you try to eliminate all sugar and caffine from the diet. Sometimes that has a impact. Also I know with my son, I really need to take him out to the park and let him burn some of his energy off. Kids were not made to sit around all day long, they need to get out and burn off some of that steam and wear themselves out. Thanks, JohnR7

First, thank you for the advice. Yes, I have pretty much eliminated all sources of sugar/caffiene. That helps a little, but I don't believe it's the problem. It's been going on for almost 6 years now.

I do take her to the park to let her run of steam and had her in gymnastics for a couple of years for that as well.
I have an appointment to meet with the school personel and after that I am taking her to get evaluated by our doc. for adhd. It may very well be something as simple as an allergy to food.

It's definately not your usual kid energy she displays. That much I have figured out.

Thanks,

Jen

Just remember it is your job as a parent to disicipline your child, not abuse or anything like that but to teach right from wrong. I t is my opinion there are three stages to disicipline 1- start with love, tell them what they did wrong, and make them understand it is wrong. 2- discipline, in some form, time out , spanking if needed, or grounding. #3- LOVE, always when you discipline your child never let it end with the discipline, always go back to Love, tell them you love them, and how it hurts you to discipline them, but try to make them understand where they were wrong. I know its tough to raise children, my prayers will be with you. God Bless

It could very well be just the work of the enemy to stir things up. Our kids are really under attack.

I have a 4 year old and I know that it takes a LOT of prayer and a lot of God putting His love in me. I have two choices, I can wait tell I run into a problem and then pray about it. Or I can do my praying in advance before a problem comes along, if I think to pray for my child. But either way, it takes a LOT of prayer.

There is a Christian artist who has done a wonderful painting of a father praying for his son, while the son is sleeping. Then he did another one of a mother praying over her sleeping daughter. It just takes lots of prayer, faith and trusting in God, to raise kids now a days.

I do not believe in the use of drugs. It can make the teachers job easier to control the kids. But it could very well cause a more serious and difficult problem for the parents later on in the childs life. Of course teachers do not care about that, all they care about is that there job today is easier. Druged children are more easy to control.

We need to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Even the Bible tells us if we delight ourselves in the Lord, He will give us the desires of our heart. Prayer for me is wonderful, because I feel the peace of God. I just pray tell I feel that everything is going to be all right. Thanks, JohnR7

I am not one for corporal punishment, but if all else fails,
a loving swat on the derierre is not a sin and is sometimes called for.

I have a son with ADHD and know how difficult it can be. I too will be praying for you and your daughter.
God bless.
