Question
My 9-year-old son seems to be so unhappy. He cannot make decisions. He is never satisfied with anything. Any direction you can send me will be very much appreciated. Thank you!
 
Answer
If this is part of a pattern of emotional or behavioral concerns, I would suggest that you consult with your family doctor and obtain a referral to a mental health professional who specializes in working with young children.
