[QUOTE="4sumrzn, post: 241526, member: 4133"] Thanks again for your thoughts. We were told a few months ago that we need to remember at all times to respond to her as if she is a 3-4 year old. It's just so very hard when we know that there a some things she is on target with for closer to her age - not many though, I suppose. I agree....SOMETHING needs to change when it comes to her reaction when husband is "too close". We've tried a few different things....even asking HER first if we can hug. Every once in awhile she will tell us to....it has to be quick though or she can change her mind. Maybe that is a tiny step in the right direction!? Her MH teacher is going to try to work in some social stories....."OK for Mommy & Daddy to watch her bowl" & "OK for Mommy & Daddy to hug" type stories. Maybe they will help too. I just wish things were easier, just like everyone else does. Suppose I get down at times when these things "explode" because I feel like our world has been revolving around difficult child since I was pg with her. Just would be nice to jump off the merry-go-round every once in awhile & share a more "normal" life with her. Again~ thanks for listening & for your thoughts. [/QUOTE]
