So my cousin is visiting. The problem is he has ADHD and is 10 years old

So here’s the problem he has a tendency to break everything that is not bolted down...So here is the problem

my room is like controlled by a remote basically like everything is hidden in my room until I press the control on the remote like if you guys walked into my room you would not see a TV or a stereo system computer laptop ect ect as I push a button and a wall panel opens and there it is..So like all the electrical are hidden and out of sight but everything else is open in my room and last time he visited he broke things like my trophy achievements ripped posters off the wall broke my bed ripped out the cables to the mini fridge broke glass bottles and took CDs and DVD out of their cases and damaged some other stuff as well

Now he has to stay in my room for the short 2 day visit as we have loads of guest rooms but as he is family and has ADHD and does not like to be left alone he has to be in my room

Now I don’t want to sound ungrateful or selfish and what not but I don’t want my room to be like a bomb just went off in it again...

Any advice on what I can do would be much appreciated

Thanks
Derri

couldnt u take the stuff down or put away in one the other guest rooms that he doesnt go in? jus put in some plastic boxes do em up and put the stuff in a room he doenst go in or is not allowed to go in then that way it will just look like ur re-decorating

Dont let him in your room. Say that the floor boards need fixing and your the only that knows what bits are safe.

Lolwut?

This is going to sound really harsh but the best thing you can do is just have a go at him constantly. If he starts to play with things or even touch things that he could break then just shout at him. If needs be then get your parents involved, just hassle him to leave your things alone.
