[QUOTE="Andy, post: 169846, member: 5096"] Did Grandpa address any of these behaviors? It may have been his attention little difficult child was trying to get? One word from Grandpa may have helped? The other day when I was at the beach, a little guy from Sunday School recognized me. He is a sweet pre-schooler with the energy of a preschooler. I smile everytime I see him. After awhile, the people he was with (a mom with 4 kids - 3 swimmers and one infant) started gathering the kids out of the water. Little K was not in the water until each was being brought out one by one (they would not come out when called so mom was going in to get them starting with the youngest). Little K decided to join the oldest girl who recognizing she had help decided not to go in. They gave each other strength in the not listening department. She even told Little K "Don't listen to her". Little K was very good at that. The two of them were just doing their best to stay in the water. I wanted so much to jump in and help because I think some of the behavior on Little K's end was showing off for me. But I did not know these people (Little K's other grandmother is who brings him to Sunday School) so did not feel like I should. Besides, the mom did do a very good job in finally getting everyone out of the lake and into the car; she did not appear overly anxious or frustrated. I wonder if I did say something it would have helped since Little K did seem to be acting up for my benefit? If the mom became exasperated and appear not to be able to get him out of the water, I may have introduced myself and asked if I could help. :dont_know: This was the question of the day for my kids - what do you do in the moment when they are just not listening? What is going on in their world to make them look for attention when they should be able to sit still for 10 - 15 minutes? What do you do? I'm not much help am I? Just wondering if Grandpa was the unknowing target for the attention seeking? I know how boys love their grandpas. [/QUOTE]
