Hey,I'm a 16 year old girl living with my mom and 4 year old brother. Lately (lets say the past few months) my brother has become uncontrollable. He never listens, he's violent towards the animals and people in the house, is constantly in a bad mood, seems like he's never satisfied with anything, is extremely hyperactive, never sits still; he barely sleeps and when he does he wakes up two or three hours later. He barely even eats. If he's told not to do something or doesn't get his way he screams.
My mom, my step-dad and myself have all tried different solutions, time outs, having toys taken away, telling him what he did wrong, taking him for long walks to calm him down, my mom even went as far as bribing him but even that doesn't work. Now I'm pretty sure most kids would be good if they where told they'd get an ice-cream or something but he doesn't, he's never happy.
He s already been brought to the doctor and he's on a waiting list to go see someone about it but that could take forever, and he's suppose to be starting school soon and by the ways he's acting he'll be suspended the first day.
It's having a real effect on my mom too, she's absolutely exhausted with him.
Does anyone know what could be wrong with him or how we can make it better while we wait for this appointment?
