[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 552163, member: 3930"] Just wondering if anyone has experienced increases in bad behavior due to growth spurts? difficult child has been eating a lot more than normal lately (he isn't usually a big eater and still isn't but has been eating more than normal). He is also usually very lean and I have noticed he is softer around the belly / looking like he is getting pudgy. A friend said a lot of times they chunk up and then shoot up (get taller). So I am wondering if the increase in negative behavior is due to a growth spurt - maybe requiring a dose increase. Or if it is just that school is back in session. I have posted before about difficult child terrorizing little brother. I have been working harder at keeping little brother away from him. But difficult child is coming to him to pick on him. He is trying to start stuff with everyone in the family. Of course I ask him if something is bothering him or if he is upset/worried/nervous about something and since he is not a big talker he doesn't tell me anything. He will be belligerent and get in everyone's face. Little brother keeps asking why he acts that way. :( [/QUOTE]
