[QUOTE="chrisb, post: 460777, member: 12811"] Sorry, I wasn't clear. He was harder to get to sleep as an infant. He sleeps fine now, actually they are both extremely deep sleepers. They fall asleep pretty quickly at night and don't wake up. As a result, they both still wet the bed regularly. Maybe that is an issue, but I'm pretty sure its because they are such deep sleepers. The traditional advice of 'wake them up to go to the bathroom before you go to sleep' results in my daughter resisting like we were attempting to torture her. She never remembers it the next day. I feel pretty sure the deep sleep is the culprit there, not any psychological issues. Again, sorry no - he talked at the usual times, I just meant before he could talk or communicate thoughts properly (the same times normal kids can't do these things) he knew what he wanted, but couldn't tell us. Also, before he was old enough to understand things like the fact that we don't know what he wants if he doesn't tell us. Often the problem wasn't that he didn't know how to say 'I want to open the door' but that he didn't know that he should say it or we wouldn't automatically know. I could maybe see some of the executive functioning. My son can be frustrating sometimes because we ask him to do something like get dressed and we'll come back and he's just laying on the floor doing nothing. But he seems to be able to plan things he wants to do well enough. None. She is very athletic (they both are) and plays various sports like softball as well or better than her peers (although she isn't aggressive in sports which holds her back in say basketball). She has beautiful handwriting. My son is having a harder time with handwriting than my daughter did, but his teachers don't think he's at all behind where he should be. Hmm, I've never heard of this, I'll have to look into it more. [/QUOTE]
