[QUOTE="maril, post: 261678, member: 5937"] I will send positive thoughts your way, too! I have been stumped when my son makes these claims. Sometimes he has been so convincing that I have to stop and think, "Did I really say or promise that?" (lol) He has made claims that I have lied, said things I have not, promised him things I have not, and I know his claims are untrue -- they are what he wants to believe is true or what I "could" have said. I think if there is an instance where there is a possibility given to him that something might occur that he is hoping for, just even the possibility makes him believe that it will go his way, so that when it does not, he cannot come to terms with it. Could this be part of the nature of the "inflexible-explosive" child Dr. Greene describes? I actually still need to read over "The Explosive Child" again to truly understand the concepts more.
