Question

What can you do with a child that is moody over nothing or money he is 10 years old?

Answer 1

Have you tried taking him to the school social worker to see why he is moody he could be depressed?

Answer 2

I have a six yr old who is very moody at times and most of the time there is something wrong, on the odd occasion it just because they want attention.. so try doing something that is really fun for him and try and make it something that doesn't cost anything to show him that money doesn't have to bring you happieness.. ask him if he needs to tlak to you about anything, if there is nothing leave him to it, eventually they always come around.. this day and age kids want want want try and teach him to be happy for what he has casue some kids dont even know what love fun or money is...

just be positive and then if he still doesn't come around pull what he is doing if he is walking around grumpy you do it do, copy him and see how he feels about you being S****y all the time...

Answer 3

Give him a paper and tell him to write down his thoughts.

At the age of ten, have him earn what he wants, or at least half- of it.

Answer 4

My 1st instinct is something is going on in his life that he is having trouble dealing with.
