[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 680112, member: 11832"] HMBgal, That sounds like a much better situation for your grandson than what I envisioned. Interestingly, all those behaviors that your son exhibits, the child I work with also does. I, too, take him to the hallway for inappropriate behaviors. Last week, I even dragged him in the chair all the way to the hall, since he refused to go there willingly. I think he rather enjoyed the "ride" out.:rolleyes: The other kids are probably somewhat fearful of your grandson. Just yesterday one of the other kids told me that Jack's behavior of making ugly faces and hitting himself was scaring him. He likes Jack, but is an anxious child.
