[QUOTE="Malika, post: 444500, member: 11227"] Ah Shelly... in fact, your description of your son describes my own to a T (the jury is still out on the social skills and underachievement)... Some of it is to do with "space". Today, for example, we were cooped up inside our small house because I am now uncomfortable with J going outside to play with all the complaints and constant gossip about him, etc. And things kind of get very intense and unpleasant, for both of us. Then we went out this afternoon - driving through the green woods hereabouts, up in the mountains, and then finding a playground or two and a stream where we could play "pooh sticks" (as in "Winnie the Pooh"...) and look at insects, etc. And, in the space of the outside, with physical activity, everything becomes calm, normal and manageable again. I feel quite fond of him again :) Do you find that with your son? J is such an outdoors creature and if we had a huge garden or park outside the house for him to play in and our lives would be much better... So some of this is about finding the right environment to contain his hyperactivity and intense energy levels. [/QUOTE]
