[QUOTE="buddy, post: 474066, member: 12886"] Makes sense, I mean, you are right, he IS very very cute (I saw pics, smile) and if this has been inadvertently reinforced by others around him (and what the heck can you do about that without looking like a monster...someone comes up and cuddles your child and you say, Knock it off??? I doubt it). So over the years he gets more and more skilful at it, not because he is consciously trying to hurt you but he is doing what all little kids do when they want their way and are tired but maybe to an expert level (which after all is a basic concept in the whole difficult child picture if you ask me...they do lots of things typical kids do but the extent, frequency, degree, etc. is so much more of an extreme). In this incident, maybe it was a combo of everything. Mine too loses it especially after doing a great job at something...like one time a school concert. My guy actually memorized a whole thing for Black History month and said it at a microphone in front of a huge audience! I am still proud of it. He could not even let anyone say good job. On the way back to his class after the day time show, the principal came up behind him and touched his shoulder (da** her, she knew not to touch him) and he hit her off and kicked a glass display cabinet. HE got in trouble when SHE broke the rule we all agreed on. I was so pi**ed off. He was little then. [/QUOTE]
