[QUOTE="Malika, post: 554232, member: 11227"] Yes, Kttlc, you're right... everyone else around is much more sanguine than me... apart from the isolated few like the child psychiatric. who basically "gets" it that J is as he is because of some issue, ADHD or not. To be honest, I don't know how it's going to go with J. I don't know if his differences are going to grow less as he gets older, or get more apparent. And I feel I am forgetting that things are open witha 5 year old, you don't really know what's going to develop or unfold. The reason I say this is because... with absolutely no prompting from me, and just because he wanted to and insisted, in fact, J wanted to me to make shapes of the letters in the bath, wanted to write the letters himself afterwards on a blackboard, was pretending to read a book and spotted a few letters... well, he's never done anything like that of his own initiative before. And I just felt surprised, like I am closing things off with judgements and concerns when actually I really don't know what's going on with J or what will go on. Know what I mean?? But I get you about the exhaustion :) [/QUOTE]
