[QUOTE="Malika, post: 476404, member: 11227"] Just to say, in relation to this... it occurs to me this evening that in some (many?) ways, parents are the experts on their "different" children, not doctors. This doctor we saw yesterday had some valuable things to say, some good insights but... really he didn't seem to understand that J is not the way he is because he doesn't have a full-time father but because of things that are far more entrenched than that, that reach back much further in time, and that dealing with these explosive children is a whole art, something that the people on the ground get to understand and implement in a way that really has to be respected. Hence the value of the shared wisdom of this forum, for example... Had a bad headache this evening and J was really so sweet. He said "Come and sit on my lap!", wanted to rub my head and insisted on taking off my boots for me... Took a paracetamol and by the end of the evening had cheered up with his amusing, affectionate chatter... Parenting him rubs both ways. [/QUOTE]
