[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 60122, member: 2287"] This is a really good thread and I like reading the responses. I, too, worry about difficult child though he's only 11. Academically he's doing quite well....all As and Bs, but emotionally he's waaay behind. Right now I'm not sure how much of it is normal behind-the-girls type of maturing, or does he just not get it and is never going to get it? He has trouble realizing A + B = C. I think the theory of being behind 2 1/2 years emotionally is right on target. That matters right now, but it won't matter when he's 25, as long as he keeps it at 2 1/2 years. difficult child will start intermediate school in the fall (6th), but I can hardly wait till next year when "woodworking" is in the cirriculum. I think he'll love it (he's talented with his hands) and maybe start pushing him in a direction. Since we are older partents, I SO want him to be able to care for himself rather than to think our daughter would have to help. She has her own four and doesn't need difficult child, but she would handle it if it was necessary, of course. I suppose we'll just try to plug along and work hard at him learning life. [/QUOTE]
