[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 431922, member: 1550"] Malika, we don't know if it will get worse or better, but somebody told me once that, in children who have trouble expressing themselves, it helps if we help the child come up with substitute words. For example, I taught my son, rather than to yell when he is having trouble, to say, "I'm frustrated!" It worked! He never used potty language, but he still had no idea how to express himself. We would do some role playing, which he enjoyed, and he really caught onto alternative phrases. I highly recommend trying this. Will it work? Hon, I know you are a great mom and very concerned about your precious boy, but we don't know what will work. We hope something will click for him. I don't care for aggressive language either. Carefully targeting the behavior worked very well for my son. He is eighteen (almost) right now and very mellow. I like to think (hope) that we had SOMETHING to do with it :) Take care and big hugs to you and little J. [/QUOTE]
