[QUOTE="whatamess, post: 517240, member: 7664"] He realized you broke a rule, maybe. "Ask permission before you take something of someone else's". You and he discussed the table in his room, but it doesn't sound like permission was granted by the 'owner' for the taable to be taken. This is obviously inflexible thinking, but he is 5 and strong-willed so that might be expected. It would be nice if he could have the conversation with you about his perception of the scene as it's playing out, but it all probably came together in his head so quickly that you had no way of knowing his mind was going in that direction. To add to his frustration he probably thought you should know exactly why this was a grievous error on your part and you should have been seeking to remedy it immediately! I would definitely see this as a discussion about perspective taking and flexibility. I think you reacted as to be expected under the circumstances-J was on a different thought path than you and expressed himself behaviorally. You are doing a good job! [/QUOTE]
