[QUOTE="Gincie, post: 166060, member: 5415"] I wanted to answer Fran's questions, I didn't respond to them in my last response. He has a great relationship with Dad. He is very kind to baby sister (9 months) minus usual sharing issues. She is never a target when she is angry. He does have friends that seem to want to have playdates with him. He was on or ahead on most fine motor milestones. Was a little late on crawling and walking (15 months). Potty training was easy. Loves dinosaurs, can remember long difficult names. Reads 3 letter words when he feels like it. Doesn't love drawing or coloring, I've been really trying to encourage that. He loves riding bikes, being outside in the garden with me. We live in the Pacific NW so weather is always a problem, but when it is nice, we are outside. It isn't a new behaviour, we have been working on it for a while. My husband and I both have quick tempers, and I'm wondering if when he was little I overreacted to him hitting me (ie picking him up, taking him to his room, harsh words, closing door). He is very reactive if we get visibly angry, so I'm wondering if it was us that taught him to act this way, although we never spank or hit. We are both trying really hard to be calm and walk away. He has been pretty healthy. I think that is the whole story! Thanks [/QUOTE]
