[QUOTE="Andy, post: 476319, member: 5096"] I think I understand what you are getting at. Your difficult child needs to be able to vocalize what is actually happening, not just only with X but if he faces mean people out and about - school, neighborhood, friend's homes, ect. Starting with a wider request may help naturally lead to what is going on with X. I would ask for help with something like, "I have noticed that difficult child does not have a good handle on how to describe emotions or how to deal with them. Is there some way that you can work on these with him? The world can be cruel and if there is anyone that is not treating him right, I want him to be able to recognize it and know how to ask for help. Can you work with him to make sure that he understands "personal boundaries" in physical and emotional limits? Right now he seems to accept any attention as o.k. as long as the other person says it is o.k. If another student makes fun of him and then tells him it is o.k., it was only teasing, he will accept it as being o.k. He doesn't recognize that those mean words are as harmful as they make him feel bad and lets the behavior continue. difficult child does not know the levels of abuse that other kids his age have learned. I want him to be able to know when he is being bullied and who he can go to to report it. Do you have materials that can help him with this?" You can also ask for help in the discussion of the "bird and the bees". "I would like to be prepared to guide difficult child through the teen years by getting a head start. What are some of the ways kids his age are prepared for the changes they are about to meet? Can you help him work through these?" Usually these topics include physical boundaries. He is of the age to be facing these issues so you are able to introduce the need without the suspescion at this point. [/QUOTE]
