Even though he has medical problems and learning disabilities, you still have to teach him how to respect his sister. If he is laughing at you when you discipline him, then you need to try something else. Raising kids are not easy BUT we have to teach them at an early age that they can not disrespect anyone and you have to teach them to protect their family members not beat them up!!!
Good Luck

Wow,I would just do anything he did to her right back to him.But I am not sure that would work in this case.But he realy does need some help.This can not continue.
Best of luck to you!

i have a friend with a son who is similar. He had seen things through an abusive relationship with the father and mother. He also has a learing disorder but is smarter than most think. the mother does a great job with him but it is very trying dealing with him on a full time basis. He loves his sister but knows a good way to get attention is start being bad. Sometimes he will hit or swear if he does not get his way. What i do and i think works best is to treat everything he does with kindness. He really does not know how to react because he usually gets repremainded for his behavior. Do not condone it and if he starts to get violent of course restrain him but do it in a matter that if possible can show him softness and kindness. it seems to really work and in the year i have know him he has gotten way way better good luck

My son had ADHD and was mean to his little sister while growing up. Best thing I ever did was take him to a Child Study Center in order to have him tested and to learn how to deal with the different issues along the way.

You have to get a hold of the situation now or it will only escalate down the road. Then it will be so out of control it will be hard to deal with.

These type of kids have to be handled a different way but one must be firm and consistent or it will be harder down the road.

All the help they gave me and the things they showed me did help for I wanted to stay as far away from drugs as long as I could.
