[QUOTE="bluebird36, post: 468141, member: 12962"] As far as development he was on time with most things, but he still can't do somethings he cant grasp me explaining how to tie his shoes and when he plays with his toys he gets very irritated if they dont make a noise or have batteries. When told that he has to use his imagination he gets angry. Legos have been a life saver for me so far until he gets angry and starts throwing them everywhere. I have read the explosive child wonderful book, I think my problem is when he turns me into the explosive parent.
