[QUOTE="Malika, post: 606775, member: 11227"] Some interesting observations, DDD. To answer your question: this summer at my mother's J was the worst he has ever been, with some meltdowns more vicious and aggressive than I have ever seen. Over a six week period he had maybe five or six episodes like that. Why, I cannot say. Of course we had just gone from France, to Morocco, to England in a short period of time... that may not be irrelevant. With his dad and family he is (they tell me) reasonably well behaved and not that different from any other Moroccan boy of his age... he does well when he feels socially included, likes large gatherings and being with children in the house. With me he is explosive and highly unco-operative or amenable and relatively mature - depending, doubtless, on a whole set of factors that I can't really analyse. When he feels that people like and understand him, he is his best behaved. School... the school in France, where he was for three years, he liked (even if they didn't like him so much always...). Never not wanted to go. Was well behaved, relatively, in class time, more difficult in the breaks. He is now in a school here that is basically exactly like a French school but just outside of France. It is not going so well and I may post about it elsewhere. Yes, learning how to defuse his own anger and frustration would be so useful for him and I sense he has the emotional skills to do that, actually. Too bad your boy couldn't be his mentor, Sharon :) [/QUOTE]
