Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My 7 year old son says that he wants to marry when he see girls. He has a desire to get married. Please tell me how to deal with him. I am worried about him as he is too young.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Some children show such desire whenever they see opposite sex person. With growing age, such desire will decrease. You can deal it by the following measures. Whenever he demands marriage, never say no, It encourages him. Just tell him, you will talk with girls family. Encourage good qualities in him and say that if you achieve this, then we will plan a marriage for you. Positive reinforcement. Make him busy in some musical instruments or other activities. If you still think these measures are not working and he is also having other conduct disorders along with it, then I will suggest you visit a nearby psychiatrist for medications like Risperidone. This medicine will help in early recovery. Thank you.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
