[QUOTE="Malika, post: 460832, member: 11227"] Thanks, Insane (I have earned your soubriquet today :) ) I think you're right - the difficulty of the mirror... also a feeling of helplessness that comes up in me faced with J's irrational tantrums. And a feeling of frustration and annoyance that we can't do a "normal" thing like a tennis lesson with all the other four and five year olds... I suspect I expect too much of him at times. We have talked about it a bit. I said we did not do very well today, he said sorry (and, typically, asked that I say sorry to him too...) At bedtime, he gave me a great hug and wanted to rub noses, saying "See we're all better now..." He is now asleep, going off to sleep in two minutes, as usual. It's just an odd quirk of fate that this particular child should come into my life because it really takes me to the places that are most difficult for me, for various reasons... maybe we would all say that? An opportunity, therefore, but really a hard challenge too. Well, you guys know ALL about that... [/QUOTE]
