[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 258472, member: 1169"] Another echo here. He is different and requires different parenting. It does not mean he does not need to master the skills that all children must master. It does mean that he will probably need to learn each skill through solid repetition and instruction rather than by the osmosis that a lot of kids learn social skills. If he is functionally 8 years old, then that is where you need to meet him. A family therapist can help you identify which skills to target and where to set the standards for his behavior this summer. It is wonderful that you are seeking help prior to his coming to stay with you. That is a sign that you are going to do a great job. [/QUOTE]
