[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 491709"] difficult child does the same thing here. Sitting quietly watching television with me while we're talking about something, and the next thing I hear is, "mom, I'm going to stick my hand up my butt." Stupid things like that. He does the "give me a hug" thing with easy child, too, and I don't like it because I feel like easy child feels like he has to hug his brother. He does it to me, too, but if I'm annoyed at him I tell him that I will not hug him after he said x, y, and z to me. If he wants a hug he should have been nicer. therapist says he does it because it's home and it's his "soft place to land" (I am SO sick of that line). He does not behave that way at school (I don't know how your difficult child does in school, but mine is really good there) and he's held himself together all day and it's his way of "unwinding". I think that it's also an attention thing. I think that he wants to say something that will shock me so that I will say something to him about it, but for the most part, I just try to ignore it. If he wants me attetnion he can get it by doing or saying something positive. [/QUOTE]
