[QUOTE="sjexpress, post: 502000"] Hi - I guess what I mean about difficult child being one since birth it is because he was a difficult newborn and it just progressed from there. By 3 days old, he cried constantly and only let up if he was being held. He always wanted to eat and never seemed full even though his weight put him off the charts. He hardly slept, only cat napping. I don't think he slept thru the nite until he was 10 yrs old!! By 4 mths or so he began to not cry so much because he could sort of entertain himself by rolling around, etc... He hit all milestones on cue. He smiled and laughed often. As the toddler years came on, he spoke on time, knew all skills, colors, numbers as he should for his age, etc... but he started to tantrum when things did not go his way. We didn't give in and began time outs, charts, etc... but nothing helped. Nursery, preschool, all fine. He followed the rules, always smartest one, very helpful in class but it seems just like now at almost 12, he reserved all his bad behavior for us!! Everything at home was a struggle. At school age, it became very obvious that he was way more immature than others his age outside of school.
