[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 255144, member: 1991"] I am so glad to hear from you, I was worried that things were a bit diastrous in your vicinity, if you know what I mean. Good to see you back here. And I'm delighted he's doing well at the moment - perhaps school is giving him the stimulation he craves. I found this with my kids (some of them anyway) - no matter how much effort I put into it, I just couldn't give them enough stimulation. Even as babies. easy child from her first days had a bit of a turn in her eye which seemed to get worse, even when I tried to really give her as much stimulation as possible. Then I had to go back to work when she was 3 months old. And her first day around all those kids and all the noise and bustle in the child care centre - she was focussing on everything, looking around her and the turn was gone! And it wasn't my absence, because I was continuing breastfeeding, so I was with her during my every work break. As for starting school - only difficult child 1 didn't really seem any different on starting school. With the others, they all drastically settled down, became far less demanding and less difficult. It as only later with the boys, mainly, that problems began to develop. But for other reasons. So it may simply be that he's getting the structure and extra stimulation from school that at some level he's been craving. Don't see this as a lack in yourself - it's often simply because school is bigger, there are more people, more things to look at and think about, than is ever possible at home. The way I see it right now - whatever is working, let it continue! So if he is doing OK, now look after yourself. And if you were at all affected by the catastrophes in your area, consider that it could be a factor in depression. I went through PTSD after some really bad bushfires around the time difficult child 3 was born. It hit me about 6 weeks later, other people all around me went down like ninepins. Some before me, most after me. Be good to yourself. Marg [/QUOTE]
