[QUOTE="klmno, post: 245284, member: 3699"] That's the kind of stuff that I need prof's help with- I've never raised another boy, so I have no idea where the line is for a typical adolescent boy with some of this. Where I feel comfortable gaging things is when I see my son go from lack of confidence when depressed to over-confident when "mission-driven", even if the actual level of confidence might still be within "normal range". We all know that adoolescent and teen boys will over-rate themselves at times. I don't think they mean having a defeatest outlook by that speicific question- I think they mean the opposite. For instance, when my difficult child is clearly not stable but not depressed, he thinks he could beat up the biggest, toughest guy in school. Now, although my son probably could rev up enough adreniline at that point in time to beat someone up, it really isn't rational or like him to think like that. [/QUOTE]
