[QUOTE="Kangourou, post: 535843, member: 14785"] Thanks, TeDo for your answer. To be clear, PTSD would stem from abuse, mistreatment, neglect and, possibly, molestation as he lived in an orphanage abroad, from birth until I adopted him at age 4 1/2. I have told the school exactly what you would have! And while he IS indeed headstrong and as self-willed as a mule -even with me-, he is no more than any other boy his age, IMPO; and I am not the kind of parent to automatically take a child's defense against a teacher; I am one tough mom! It all started at the orphanage, during our month-long bonding period, when I got my first glance at his strong-will side. He threw a tantrum because he did not want to do as told. I was very firm and showed him unequivocally that I would not put up with tantrums. Then, when he arrived in school in the US, he used to hit, kick, bite, spit at other kids when they looked at him with curiosity, poked him or cut in front of him in line (especially at the caf'). We got over that. He has had almost 3 years of therapy/shrink/medications, and it was the psychiatrist whom diagnosed him. [/QUOTE]
