[QUOTE="Malika, post: 578615, member: 11227"] Yes, sure. He does have a mind and thoughts and feelings, and I do respect his perspective. However, does that mean he should give up an activity because of the whim of the moment - I don't mean that pejoratively, but it was a sudden whim because he saw the other boy? That everything is moveable if we don't want it on the spur of the moment, that we just go with the feelings of the moment? I am not judging that feeling of the moment and I don't see clearly the answer right now. But it was also the WAY J communicated with me when I arrived - starting to cry and get angry. If he had said to me, "Mummy can I stay and play with O?", I know that I would have listened. But that may not be developmentally appropriate and it may not be possible for a child with intense emotions and impulsivity problems. [/QUOTE]
