A tired and anxious hello to all ...
If I may .. I've been deployed to Iraq for the past 4 yrs and as the deployment nears it end .. the news comes from home (re: my wife, 23 y/o daughter, and 3 1/2 yo grandson who all live in the same house .. yikes! lol .. daughter attends local college and wife works full time) .. it seems one of my wife's most stressing things to deal with is the - grandson.
He is acting out at Difficult Child (Day Care) .. we have him in a private Difficult Child with 3-4 other kids and constant supervision. a great Difficult Child provider! Apparantly he has been showing agression through beating up a lil girl and boy. Guess this is constant.
He is a very smart lil guy, helps around the house, likes to do chores, but is a bit delayed on his speech .. well, he still doesnt talk much, if at all. He knows exacty what one is saying to him and can/does follow complex directions. He is a bit spoiled and is as defiant as his mom was/is.
I guess I am wondering if this behavior at the daycare is "normal" or common??? I guess he was sitting on the lil girls stomach and hitting her in the face and the other boy he sat on and covered his face/mouth with his hands. The Difficult Child provider said she was scared to leave him alone with the other kids.
I just wonder what it is I'll be going back to - when I deploy back home?? Is his developmentally delayed (speech) thus causing his aggression? Does he need a Child psychiatric to observe him?? *sigh* ...
Any thoughts would really help ... I really want to try and relieve my wife's anxiety about this (as I know my time away was prolly much harder on her than it was on me) .. and yes, her first gift is a nice vacation! ..
Thanks ....
