[QUOTE="becklit, post: 162981, member: 5395"] difficult child stands for "Gift from God"? Really? And that's the term you use to describe a child with the kind of challenges that are discussed here? How highly ironic! When my 5 year year old "difficult" son was born, we struggled coming up with a middle name for him. With all of my children I have felt that it was important to come up with something that was really significant. After struggling for quite a long time (he was nameless for about the first 4 days of his life) a thought popped into my head that his middle name should be "Matthew". The meaning of the name Matthew, I'm sure you may know is . . . "Gift from God". We thought it was a nice idea, but never really considered it truly significant until now. Wow. I'm glad I happened upon this forum. That little "coincidence" has given me just the little boost I have needed. I'm not sure how much of a role religion and faith play on this discussion board, but I have to say that I feel God knew well in advance the challenges we would be having with this child, and helped us name him appropriately. . . as a reminder to us of how dear this little boy is, despite his problems. Thanks everybody. I'll post again I'm sure. [/QUOTE]
