[QUOTE="Malika, post: 428652, member: 11227"] Yes. I meant that because it takes our children MUCH more to do the things that other children (and their parents) simply take for granted, in a sense they are EXERCISING more of the skill than other children. My son had to EXERCISE patience yesterday, for example, when the other kids just have it naturally, without trying! These things are often not seen to the naked eye, of course - casual observers would not have thought J was being patient. But I could look at him and know that he was. Just accepting to stop the tantrum was a big deal!! All is relative, as they say... And our perspectives have to become very relative, I find. [/QUOTE]
