[QUOTE="Malika, post: 418961, member: 11227"] Thanks, Beth and HaoZi. Yes, feeling embarrassed is natural... but the thing is, it's going to happen all the time with my son because he IS so often different in the way he is and behaves that I have to find my peace and acceptance with it... because I don't want to be stressed and embarrassed all the time! And SOME of the problem does come from me, from my own nature which is rather reserved and "private", not expansive and open like his... Eg we recently went to the UK for a few days. In the airport at one point, J was rushing out at people coming out through a corridor, laughing and pretending to be a monster; I was mortified and wanted him to stop... but in fact almost everyone he did it to started laughing and playing along... they didn't mind. Just I was suffering :-) I definitely need to "chill" with J... have taken big strides in that direction but you know... I think it's also about picking battles. If he is not actually disturbing or hurting anyone, I should let the behaviour slip... Hey, ho! [/QUOTE]
