How do you deal with your children's developmental ages being out of wack with their chronological ages?
Piglet is 12 but she is my "oldest". Tigger is 10 and developmentally about 6. Eeyore is 14 but developmentally about 4. He is livid that he does not has the same freedoms that the other kids have but we have tried to give him more age-appropriate freedoms and he has either injured himself, broken something or put others in danger. Eeyore has noticed that he is more supervised than the others and it bothers him. He has hit both Piglet and Tigger in response.
It is so frustrating because I am beginning to believe that it isn't that he won't do what is expected but that he can't do it
