[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 109154, member: 3647"] Dara, I know that what you are going through is tough. But, in my humble opinion, you need to be a little more flexible with Sammy. You say that you have not tried sign language because you want him to use his words. So. How's that working for ya? Seriously, it sure seems like he has other plans. Why not give him the option. Sure, he may have the capabilities of speaking. What if it is unbelievably difficult for him to do? Neither you nor I nor Pope Benedict know what is going on in his little head. And Mayo is not for MONTHS. Why not introduce the sign language, and see what happens? I see one of 2 things: Either, he accepts it and gets less frustrated, causing less tantrums. Or, he rejects it, and you are no worse off than you were before. Our kids are wired different. We have to be creative and resourceful. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
