[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 440112, member: 1991"] Malika , you have to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of moving several times, vs letting him stay in an environment where he is being hit. If you move it will be disruptive, but he will know you are not accepting the hitting, you will protect him. How disruptive will it be? I can't say. Will it be worth the move? I can't say. What I can tell you - we began going on regular holidays (about once every two years) when difficult child 3 was 5 or 6 years old. We didn't realise, but he didn't understand that we were only going away for a week we would be back. So this poor kid thought we had left everyone and everything behind - his own home, his own bed, his toys, his favourite things. No wonder he clung to us and panicked if any one of us got out of sight! But We explained it to him when we realised. Once we got back to our own space he understood. The next holiday - he had to learn it all again. But each time he learned it fast, and over time he became a seasoned traveller, the social lessons were marvellous. He learned how to order a meal in a restaurant and he also learned to eat food that is a bit different. We did different things and he adapted, far more than we thought he was able. And it all has taught him to be more adaptable. He still doesn't like going on holiday, until we get there. Then he enjoys it, as a rule. And when he looks back on it, he really values the experiences. Something you could do with J, that we did with difficult child 3 - we got him to do a journal of the trip. We let him use the camera to take photos, we encouraged him to write a story about the adventure. Fort a very young kid, I would get him to dictate it while you type, if he finds his own slow typing too frustrating. Then you put the photos and text together for him in a presentation. It is a record of the adventure. Whether it be a holiday or a move, it doesn't matter. It also gives added credit at school. We also find that the process of planning to record the adventure gives the child a focus, makes it more of a distraction from the anxiety of the change. Marg [/QUOTE]
