[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 77973, member: 1991"] The funny thing is, it was mother in law who kept saying, every time she saw him, "I love you, difficult child 3." As a result, SHE was the one he first said, "I love you," to. And I didn't mind because she had earned it. I had thought she was wasting her time saying it, because his receptive language back then was so poor. The thing is, they CAN be very affectionate, as long as they have choice. I often ask difficult child 3 for a hug but I rarely grab him and hug him, he would push away. He will come to me and give me a spontaneous hug, though. And it's down to Grandma, who started it all. It's funny it was her, though - she was maybe the last in the family to accept there was anything wrong, other than bad parenting. She STILL tries to correct his behaviour in ways I feel is too harsh. But he does love Grandma. And now he's older and his language has caught up, we know he understands love. Marg [/QUOTE]
