Tiberias has done so very well since school started. I'm talking about his behavior, how he reacts to situations. However, when we allow a lot of sugar into his diet his behavior goes immediately down hill again.
He always has this look on life that it's not fair. He makes an angry sound any time I say he needs to do something that he doesn't wish to do. If it's time to put on shoes to leave for school he gets angry. If it's time to go to bed...he gets angry.
But it's worse when he is on sugar. He can't control his actions so he throws anger fits. He is mad at everyone and the world should change to suite him.
I am very worried that he will have this his whole life. Sterling is not worried about it. We have tried and tried to teach him to be thankful, to be happy and act calmly. Impossible.
Some children have such strong wills and sense of being right that they are not teachable.
If it were another child, even Luke or Athena, they would learn and grow from what we are trying to teach. But Tiberias is not one of those children.
I bet in life his will and stubbornness and confidence in himself will help him with some things. However, not being teachable is a fault. And looking at life as not being fair and that IT should change for him. Those two things will really be a negative in his adult life.
We continue to try and teach Ty to be happy. However, I pray that as he gets older he will realize it on his own and be able to change so he can be happy with life. He learns about life only when it seems to him that he taught himself. He trusts himself.
