[QUOTE="Mandy, post: 288633, member: 6245"] We have always thought difficult child was "too smart for his own good":winking: Where we thinks he lags behind is his social interaction with other children and adults. It is very hard to carry on a conversation with him on any subject because he tends to go off in his own conversation. I think that is what makes it hard to find out what he does or doesn't know. Also we have a kindergarten workbook that we practice for short periods each day and his handwriting is still way behind what it should be. He can't trace, draw, or write letters. All his drawings look the same when we ask him to draw shapes, numbers, or letters. All the way through his toddler years he preferred to play off quietly by himself and when other children would intervene he became very aggressive. He finally has an interest in playing with other children but they tend to shy away from him. It breaks my heart to know he might be the child to not have friends in school.:frowny: Thanks for all the great info Marg!! I really appreciate you taking the time to help! [/QUOTE]
