[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 63444, member: 393"] kjs, In the midst of all this turmoil, has difficult child ever attended a class on social skills? Learning to read body language & other things? The classes kt & wm have attended have taught them appropriate responses, some impulse control around peers & when to recognize they are "being used", for lack of a better term. I fear wm will always have that 12 y/o goofiness - the need to be center of attention & set himself up for teasing & such. Kids at this age are mean enough - they tend to roam in a pack mentality & go after the "weakest" of the pack (can't think of a better way to put it). In the meantime, if difficult child continues to be so fixated on being "fat", can you or husband work with him on healthy eating choices; control over eating matters. How about an exercise program together with dad? I cannot speak to the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) spectrum issues, however Marg does have a good feel for this. [/QUOTE]
