[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 572108, member: 6546"] Bunny-- This is sooo familiar - difficult child never understood the concept of showing love in little ways, either. There was an exercise we did as a family for a while to help difficult child understand "love". At the end of the day (around the dinner table, or whatever) we went around the table and asked each family member list something they had done that day to show love and list something that other family members had done to show love. husband might say, for example, I went and worked really hard at my job today to bring home some money for my family because I LOVE YOU. And then DS might chime in "And you helped me with my homework!"....etc. You get the idea... difficult child had the hardest time at this task. It was several days before she could even come up with any example - either of something she did, or something another might have done for her. She just didn't recognize any actions or gestures as a sign of love. Finally, after many days of repeating this exercise - she was able to come up with a few examples....and when she finally came up with something that SHE had done to show love - she was really, really proud of herself. You may want to try something like that in your family.... [/QUOTE]
