Hello All, this is my first post and am hoping you are able to advise me. On saturday night my DS was told to go up to bed and get into bed as he had been allowed to stay up and watch the x factor which he loves. He asked me to go up with him and I said no because he had been allowed to stay up later than normal, he could just go up and get himself into bed. Lights were on, pj's on, literally all he had to do was get into bed. He then went into the kitchen and got a knife out of the cutlery draw and came into the living room with it pointed at himself!! I calmly told him to go and put the knife back where he had it from and told him to go and sit at the bottom of the stairs & wait for me. I went and sat with him and asked where he had the idea to do this, he told me it was in his mind! I asked why he had done it and he said " because I wanted to get your attention"
he isn't allowed to play with computer games, or watch age inappropriate films or TV and I have to say I am at a complete loss of what to do, how to approach this recent behaviour. Any help, advise, knowledge would be gratefully received.
