[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 186922, member: 1991"] That was really good personal observation, and also probably highly relevant. I would make a point of mentioning this at the next appointment and also mentioning that difficult child himself noticed this personally - he should be congratulated! I've found that when my kids are in the mood (and capability) to make observations like this, it's good to sit and explore a range of things with them, as long as they continue willing. "How often do you think this happens?" "How do you feel about the possibility?" "How do you feel about how you handle things in general?" "What do you understand this to mean?" And so on. There are no right or wrong answers, and once they realise this it can be very freeing for them - it also opens the door for them to be more willing to discuss their concerns and problems with a third party.
