[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 286119, member: 84"] Well I can't speak for other kids. But with Travis, any sort of rough housing play fighting sort of play had to be under adult supervision. Travis never knew when he was going over board with such play nor could he tell when it was time to quit. Being a boy I didn't want to tell him he could never rough house with other boys, I just made sure I was there to keep an eye out so things didn't get out of hand. Sounds like the cousin could use this same sort of supervision. I never really punished Travis when he got carried away.....especially if I could tell it wasn't intentional. Cuz he really just couldn't tell. Even as an adult I have to watch over him with younger kids. He still is unable to tell when enough is enough. It's great that difficult child can understand that his cousin is a bit different. But even knowing that no one wants to be hit on beyond normal type playing. I'd talk it over with the Mom before he goes. So she has the heads up on what is actually going on, and that it's not her son just being mean type behavior. That way he won't be punished, but still will be monitored to be sure he knows when to quit. Hugs [/QUOTE]
