[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 58046, member: 1991"] It's good that husband took him home. A thought - was there a chance he could fall, or is his balance exceptional? Because you might be able to direct exceptionally good balance into circus skills. It helped easy child 2/difficult child 2 learn safety rules and it also helped her learn some common sense, even while it gave her an outlet. She liked to walk tall on stilts because she is so short. She would climb up on things so she could see from high up - was always climbing like that. Then once she accomplished stilt walking, things went in a much better direction. difficult child 3's godmother has a son who was like this. While I was still at the hospital the day after difficult child 3 was born, godmother brought her two kids in to see us. Son wandered off (he was 14 at the time) and explored. It WAS visiting hour, but he had NO idea of privacy. It was an old hospital with big, wide windows which could open up all the way to the floor. As it was midsummer, all the windows were wide open. He walked out the window to the balcony, stepped over the balcony onto the roof of the wing below and proceeded to talk about on the tar paper roof, inspecting the various ducts and ladders. By the time I saw him (two floors below us - he would have had to walk through an entirely different hospital ward to get out the windows) security were grabbing him and dragging him back inside. It was extremely embarrassing for godmother, who was asked to leave and take her son home before he injured himself or someone else. He's grown up to hold down a high-paying, somewhat adventurous but responsible job. He's less impulsive these days, thank goodness. For his 21st, instead of photos up on the wall signifying each passing year, his mother put up his X-rays! The fractured skull, the pin in his leg, the broken arm... Marg [/QUOTE]
