[QUOTE="ML, post: 154776"] difficult child told me the other day that a friend of his at school knows somebody who cuts themselves on purpose. He said that this friend said he thought it was kind of "cool". difficult child admitted that he thought so too. So, yesterday he cut himself on his knuckles with some sharp rocks. I told him that I would definitely be taking him to therapy to which he answered "if I stop I don't have to go?". Anyway, I was doing some reading and this sort of goes with eating disorders, anxiety, etc. Any advice or words of wisdom? For goodness sakes he is in 3rd grade yet! I don't get it at all. I mean I kind of get what the research is saying but difficult child has never had any trauma and I have always tried so hard to praise him, show him love and encouarge his own self expression. It's very scary. ML [/QUOTE]
