[QUOTE="Malika, post: 418408, member: 11227"] One of the things I have learnt about being with and confronting this path of having a "difficult" child is that it is unhelpful to take my son's unhappiness or anger at face value... If I believe that it is a real expression of who he is, if that makes sense, I get sad, overwhelmed and angry myself... I have to have faith in him, see beyond his difficult behaviour and believe that he too wants to fit in, co-operate and thrive... Easier said than done, of course. But I have found that this technique of seeing past the difficulty has yielded results... my son has started to be what I show him I believe him to be... None of this is easy. But we have to find the joy amidst all the difficulty, I honestly do believe that. And for me the joy lies in seeing and speaking to that in my little boy which is positive and good. It may sound like I just don't understand how hard things are in your house, but is it at all possible to treat him like he is a loving, co-operative boy and see what that produces?? [/QUOTE]
