~~~ he's trying to keep your expectations low. when jarrod was in his major depressive state if i praised for anything all h*ll would break loose.
~~~ complaining becomes a habit. i hate to reference oprah, but here i go. a couple of weeks ago she had on a minister who has started a movement to help people become more positive. he designed purple wrist bans. people take a pledge to not complain for 30 days. every time they slip up & complain they switch the purple band to the other wrist & the 30 days start over. i looked on her site & can't find any archives on this show. i'll keep looking.
for your son it's probably a combination of both things.
