[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 565636, member: 11791"] JMO here... but I'm guessing that your "easy child" isn't a easy child. Younger one is probably more than ADHD, and older one likely has some ADHD traits - like, maybe, more what we used to call ADD, because it isn't as obvious. If so... (my home is like that... ) then it really is NOT an empathy problem. It's that there are are times when easy child can't handle distractions and disruptions. You need to work with the older one to figure out what the situations are where he needs to be uninterrupted, and then figure out ways that the right environment can be created so that difficult child and easy child can learn to respect each others' needs and boundaries.
