[QUOTE="Malika, post: 449003, member: 11227"] Hi Artmama. Welcome to the board and I echo the sentiments that you should try (as far as possible) to avoid guilt... You've enough to cope with without that! For me, what I picked up on reading your post was firstly that your son is very bright and secondly that he has many qualities. Right there is enough for you to celebrate and feel grateful for, even if your son is more challenging than most. He is bright - that is good. He is empathetic and makes friends easily - ditto. I do think we live in an age that is probably too quick to bandy acronyms about. So your son is difficult according to the principal... we need to know more! Is there a possibility he is bored, needs greater intellectual or other stimulation? I personally share your reservations about medication and for myself am just keeping an open mind for the moment. Please tell us more about what constitutes your son's difficult behaviour. [/QUOTE]
