[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 37069, member: 3579"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I know I sound like a broken record but you simply can't go nuts over this. He is doing what's expected, he didn't win the Nobel Prize. lol. </div></div> I agree, and have heard this myself several times from others about my son. Lately, whenever he acts like he should (instead of acting out), we treat him like he just cured cancer. difficult child's therapist has suggested we tone this down a bit, because even if my son's difficult child-ness goes into "remission", the real world will only reward normally expected behavior with normally expected compensation. We can let him know we're happy for the positive changes in his life, maybe do something small, but helping him set unreasonable expectations about the results of normally expected behavior would only set him up for problems later in life (so says his doctor).
