[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 683236, member: 13260"] I worry about my dear little granddaughter, too. Her brother sucks all the air out of the room and is so scary for all of us when he has his temper flares. Last week he threw a metal spoon at her head and missed, thankfully, and the spoon hit the flatscreen TV so hard it shattered it. I can only imagine if that had hit her. To give him credit, he scared the bejeesus out of himself when he realized how close he came to hurting her. He has never hurt a child or animal. He's actually very kind and trustworthy with small kids, especially. If I even raise my voice to my three year old grandson, Difficult Child with take me to task and get upset. These things tend to happen more at their mother's house than ours. My husband is on top of him at our house and doesn't trust him any farther than he can throw a handful of glue. Dear granddaughter is so quiet about it all, doesn't complain, and is so calming and compassionate for him. We bring her to her brother's appointments sometimes, but she doesn't have much to say. She's a wonder child, truly. But I know there's a price being paid. We arrange Mom and granddaughter time, set up playdates for her, etc. We watch her very carefully and she was having stomach pains, which concerned us. We found out that she is lactose sensitive so limiting the dairy has really helped. She eats well, sleeps well, and is doing great in school. But I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't get fed up at some point and start expressing more of her negative feelings. [/QUOTE]
