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