[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 354851"] We found with- our son, who ( knock on wood) is doing very well (throwing salt over my shoulders and crossing myself) that when he went through a period like this we had to sit back and let him do the work. He had difficulty with- this very thing and I sat in the background...letting him do the work. But, what STAR and TALAN said also applied beautifully. I told him he could do this...he could figure it out...I had confidence in his ability. I only stepped in when he was lost and then kept my input limited. Sometimes, I would tell him that he needed to pick up the phone and ask his questions to a pharmacist assistant, etc. Eventually, he did very well with these types of things. But I recall initially, I had to just quietly sit in the background for support. It was a learning experience. AND typical teen son (at the time) learned well. Ironically, our difficult child didn't have much of a problem with- this type of thing. Her issues are in different areas. She is more of an extrovert. She tends to learn the hard way and its a little difficult to watch. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
