[QUOTE="glenchuti, post: 603996, member: 16744"] Gibraltar is part of Britain territory and by geography next to spain,although we consider ourselves an own country independent from Britain. We like britain have a free health service second to none in the world,and we do get sent to UK or Spain for referrals to all types of specialists that might be unavailable here although we have our own specialists and consultants. Now that that is out of the way,i will answer that our son is perfectly normal,does what you tell him.puts toys away.Potty trained since he was 2.Dresses himself since he was 4.Not sensitive to noises etc,no nightmares ,basicly none of the symptoms asked by Midwest mom.The only thing is that he has very flexible joints, he has flat feet and the stated before speech delay. My wife decided to stay off work because she saw that our sons speech was interfering with his school development like reading and writing and she has been helping him with reading and writing at home so that he would not be behind the other children,not because he has serious problems like [COLOR=#333333] autism(none of the symptoms to any disorder).[/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333]The school being a public school would rather have 20 normal pupils to deal with than having to spend extra time helping a speech delayed child,that is why they proposed the change of school,were they said classes were smaller and there was more time for the teacher to have a one on one with the children.We declined because he already had made friends at the school and our daughter had also been to that school years earlier.We also did not think sending him to a school with some autistic children and mentally delayed children would be beneficial for his development. That was 2 years ago and now he reads and writes to a very high standard and his speech has improved a lot(now one can understand him)mostly because my wife has been spending hours with him on a daily basis.We have noticed he does speak better in English than in Spanish(in gib we are all bilingual spanish being the most spoken language at home,English for education as it is our official language.as The reason to post here this topic was to get some ideas from other parents who have kids at this age that act like our son when he is told off.Its not that he does it all the time just sometimes but i personally think its a growing up phase which he will grow out off,but my wife gets very upset and worries a lot. I can say that he is a great boy loads of friends and i just think when he wants he is a naughty boy like most other kids of that age,my wife just needs reassuring coming from an all girl family i think she does not know how naughty boys can be compared to girls,i have a brother and we were always fighting,and i can not say i was a good boy at the age of 6 as i remember i did not like to listen to my parents or do what i was told. Anyway thanks for reading :smile: [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
