[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 523251, member: 11847"] I have tried to explain to V his issues with very little success.... V just does not understand that level of conversation. And I am used to simplify things for him. But I feel it is important to explain and talk about it freely, with no shame and without implying that the child needs to be fixed. When we do talk about it (V asks me why he has therapies), I keep it very casual and answer the best I can keeping in mind that he is only 4. In our family, it is somewhat easier since all 3 kids have been in therapy at one point or another. Even though V does not quite understand his difference (or at least is not able to put it in words), the conversation has already been started and it might make it easier in the future. Specially if we decide to use assistive technology (I assume the same would apply to medications). How old is your difficult child? [/QUOTE]
