[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 425461, member: 11791"] Yours sounds more like a mornings and/or pre-medications thing, but... just in case... Just about as predictable, but not by clock or calendar... if he gets "down" (anxiety and/or mood), usually because something is coming up at school (performance, test, new section of a class), OR something didn't go well (bad mark on test etc.)... then he tries to drag everyone else down too. These kids seem to be hyper-sensitive to self-driven comparisons. When they feel the gap is too big between themselves and others... they can't pull themselves up, so the only option is to try to pull others down. And because they are good at [U]that[/U], they end up with an internal "success" reward. But its really tough to head it off - don't always know what's going on, until something goes wrong - and pulling others down is one of those "somethings". If I had answers... then we wouldn't be dealing with it either! [/QUOTE]
