My 7 year old son has a desire to get married. How to deal with this?

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.
