[QUOTE="Malika, post: 445740, member: 11227"] I think if J could have met Wiz when he was about four, they would have struck up an instant friendship :) Yes, thank you for this good suggestion, Susiestar. Planning and preparation is usually the key to a calm and manageable time with J as opposed to chaos. Unfortunately I am not the world's most organised person - so it is difficult for me to get there also... The point about development is a really good one. Although, as I think Insane Cdn pointed out in relation to ADHD, J's development is more uneven than uniformly "behind". People often make the comment about him that he seems very old for his age, and smart - because he has this enormous self-assurance and in a sense independence. It's all paradox, isn't it, because whereas he will blow a gasket if I take a different turning home than the one we usually take, he will quite comfortably take himself off in new places to explore and interact with people... ? I am usually left running behind shouting "J! J!" with mock authority as he does exactly what he wants... In some ways he reminds me of a cocky teenager. In others, he is as you say lagging behind in terms of maturity. I was really hoping the tantrums would trail off around the age of three or four like they are "supposed" to... I am just not looking forward to these continuing on. [/QUOTE]
