[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 574844, member: 15799"] Ktllc, those are the EXACT 3 feelings difficult child 1 could "identify" just a year ago and he applied those labels to situations that were not those, like saying he was mad when he was really only frustrated. Now he has included frustrated and nervous. You might want to try figuring out what YOU notice when he appears in a certain "mood" he doesn't know. Then you can say something like "I see you're breathing faster, do you feel that?" or "I see your face muscles are getting tighter, do you feel that?" and tell them what those signs tell YOU. That way he can either correct you or start feeling it himself. If he notices, then use those signs and put a label on them. Eventually he'll learn to do that himself. My difficult child 1 is 14 and he can only identify 5 feelings. For us, that's progress. I'm tickled V can identify 3 at his age. [/QUOTE]
