Frown My 6 yr old grandson threatens to stab his brother

I have a grandson age 6 who has many behavior problems. He has these terrible fits that we can not control. He says horrible things to his 12 yr old brother. He says he hates him, he wants him to die, he wants to stab him in the heart. When he is sent to his room he screams at the top of his lungs. He has ALWAYS rocked himself in bed. Banging his head on the wall for hours. He will find knives and stab holes in my daughters couch, stab all his sisters diapers up (she's 9 and is disabled with Rett Syndrome).He has set fire to his bed and to his stuffed animals. He has destroyed his sisters therapy toys. He has run away from home, crossed a major 4 lane street. The police picked him up at Circle K and he showed them the way back to his house. He proceeded to yell at my daughter telling the police he hates her. His 1st grade teacher said she can no longer have him in her class. He is terrible, he eats pencils, tears up books, chips up the walls. Two yrs ago his primary care said he is ADHD. I think it is much worse. He is very, very smart. But you never know when he'll act out. He doesn't play with other children. Sometimes when you look at him it's as if he's not there at all.

Hello
so sorry to hear what is happening. People with ADHD may get hyper, but from what you are describing, this appears to be something very different.

Has the child been to a developmental pediatrician? Primary care doctors really are not the best for something that seems this intricate imo.

Have you ever looked into possible PANDAS/PANS? where strep (and sometimes other) infection can set of a severe inflammatory reaction in the brain, leading to what appears to be almost psychotic behavior.
Here is a website that explains it http://www.pandasnetwork.org

Hi Joy and welcome to NeuroTalk.

I would strongly suggest your grandson be seen by a Child Psychiatrist to be evaluated. The sooner the better.

Take care...

Hey joy, about 2 months ago I got stabbed by an older cousin. I'm 16 he is 21. He severed my main artery in my right arm along with my radial and median nerve I lost feel along with motor functions. I can barley open my hand and cannot lift my wrist I still have a brace on that was locked at 90 degrees when I woke up in the med. It is down to 40 degrees now. I highly suggest getting him checked out before something like this

Default Look at Biomedical Aspects

Sorry to hear about the problems your grandson is having.

I would recommend taking a look at information posted by the Pfeiffer Clinic in Chicago on biological underpinnings of aggressive behavior and protocols that can help. Often they have high levels of heavy metals and behaviors can improve with a dietary and nutritional protocol.

Often aggressive individuals cannot eat the convenience processed foods which will contribute to overall toxicity and trigger aggressive behavior - sometimes a special diet that eliminates artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, and fats - and is low carb and low sugar can help - what's good to eat are lots of dark leafy greens (like salad greens) and fresh vegetables can make a huge difference.

For example, a kid I knew who was about to be taken away by the state authorities because he was so aggressive turned around dramatically for the better when they started giving him Vitamineral Greens by Health Force which promotes gentle detoxification through whole foods and also contains enzymes and probiotics needed for digestive health (no I don't represent them or make money from them).

There is genetic testing that can be done through genetic testing companies like 23andme.com that may help to inexpensively reveal genetic issues in metabolism that can then be corrected through supplementation and diet as well.
