I expected these things but not at nine. He's always been ahead of the curve. He also wants piercings all over. I told him that we could put some temporary dye in his hair over the summer and he's ecstatic.
You know what else. He went to a therapy session today. I picked him up from school and he was in a great mood. After the session he was activated. He started mouthing off, doing things to annoy while we were in the car. At home he was all defiant. He said something about lying and that he thought it was a good thing. He's saying these things to get a reaction and I know it. But still, I told him we were going to talk and I turned off the TV and took away the laptop he had and I said we're going to talk about being truthful and trustworthy and he says "lying is bad, you' right. I've learned over time just to tell you want you want to hear so we don't have to have these little talks". I made him write out why being truthful was the right way e was just in one of those moods where. He's a bit settled now but still a little more hyper than usual.
I just wonder why he was in defiance mode after his session. Is this normal reaction do you think?
