[QUOTE="Tezzie, post: 367206, member: 2964"] Been there, done that..... One thing I've learned from all my reading on ADHD (difficult child 1 is a poster boy for this), social/emotional age is about 2/3 that of chronological age. This means I have a 12 year old in a 19 year old's body. He interacts well with little kids and also, strangely, with older adults and is slowly figuring out how to interact "normally" with same age peers. I would agree with susiestar that you set the stage with the other kids' parents & then you & they keep a closer than usual eye on their activities for a while to see how things go. Playdates with same age kids is also a great idea. Sending good wishes for a smooth summer. [/QUOTE]
