[QUOTE="Malika, post: 413920, member: 11227"] Thanks, KTMom! I'm not despairing just yet... But I think I get lulled into a false sense of security, in a way; if I am mindful and use the right "strategies" with J when he is with me, he is most of the time reasonably compliant and reasonably pleasant. I start "forgetting" that he is not completely like other children - and then I get upset, disappointed and frustrated when I see him acting up like that in public. I suppose it is odd that children are worse when their parents around... but then... I guess we are ALL worse with our "nearest and dearest", all let our hair down (not so attractively, always) with them in ways we don't with those we are less intimate with. So - maybe they learnt it from the grown-ups? :-) [/QUOTE]
