[QUOTE="whatamess, post: 513793, member: 7664"] Isn't difficult child the center of negative attention anyway? I think [I]we think[/I] we are getting our message of "the world does not revolve around you" across to our difficult child's, but honestly, in some cases our thinking is wrong. Some of our difficult child's [B]are[/B] egocentric and whether we like it or not they will be until their brains have reached a level of maturity/understanding. So, it really can become a battle or accomodations can be made to make the experiences better for everyone. For many of our kids this is not a lifestyle choice, their disability prevents them taking the perspective of others. Now, I have to say, I feel and react in the same ways at times- it seems that if my boundaries are clear enough and I am consistent that my difficult child will learn, but so far~not so much with the learning about "others first".
