[QUOTE="klmno, post: 377690, member: 3699"] PS- If you are referring to adolescence and puberty in general in our sons- OH YEAH!!! It is WAYYYyyyyyyyy bigger than us.... and there's no stopping the changes it will make in our difficult child's. We might be able to influence them some ( a little) by how we coach them and what we teach them, but it really is a "force" that takes over as our "boys" start down the path of finding their own identity as men. And it does appear to start out as extreme sensitivity and self-consciousness. I have heard that somewhere in the early teen years, there will also be a phase of challenging adult men- especially fathers, father figures, or male role models. Why? Apparently they believe that once they "win" that challenge, they have crossed over into manhood. So don't be shocked if at some point M is challenging husband in some way(s). [/QUOTE]
