[QUOTE="Malika, post: 533665, member: 11227"] I can little imagine the pain you and Wiz, and your family, went through, Susiestar, and quite accept that he had to be medicated, for his and others' sake. In the interests of honesty... I don't really know how "total" a statement J was making when he said he liked himself the way he was - in that instance, in that moment, he was really just replying to my question about his hyperactivity. On other occasions, and reasonably often, he has tearfully or angrily described how often people call him "naughty" or see him as bad... So I don't think his self-esteem is unaffected. He does seem to have a strong sense of himself, though, and always did... something he brought with him. On a few occasions, I have seen people reject him and he doesn't seem to take it personally or get upset. Maybe this is just his age. If I could wish anything... to be really honest... it would be to be able to see this child's qualities anew and anew each day, rather than getting lost in the difficulties and challenges of his behaviour sometimes. Because he is so vibrant, loving, energetically happy and outgoing much of the time that it is like being dosed in radiant sunshine. Others mainly don't appreciate that, and see him as just a noisy pest, and I myself keep getting lost in my irritations with him because he is simply not an easy child. Yet he is so very full of life force and really a beautiful child... So I hope he does and can see himself as he is. [/QUOTE]
