[QUOTE="Malika, post: 462774, member: 11227"] I do sort of agree with this. I have very rarely said to J there is something "wrong" with him, though we do talk about him getting angry, frustrated, speaking rudely sometimes, etc. Perhaps he is just too little yet. But the one or two times I have said to him he is hyperactive, it has sounded really wierd, as if I am saying something really crass and untrue, trying to make him sound like a freak. I know that sounds odd and I cannot explain it rationally, but that is just how it has come across each time. So J doesn't know there is anything different about him in terms of a label. We do have a book called "Zak has ADHD" which he likes and sometimes has (it has to compete with the dozens of other books!) and once said "I'm like Zak!" so I guess he knows somewhere... When he is bigger we will perhaps talk about the label. [/QUOTE]
