[QUOTE="Steely, post: 485117, member: 3301"] I wouldn't talk to the other mom either. I continue to be amazed that your principal and teacher are so calm, positive, and supportive. For now, I would be thankful for that, and let them handle these things. I think a large part of Matt's behavior escalating was due to the people around him escalating. He was always a very tall kid, with a loud voice, and most of his schooling was in the middle of after the Columbine incident - so every single teacher had him on their radar screen. He couldn't even sneeze without all eyes on him. I *know* this made his behavior worse. So if your school's staff is still calm and understanding - than continue to accept that and don't stir the waters. It sounds like your boy and the other have a relationship where they trigger each other -- but who is say who instigates it. The boy did ask him to pull his shirt around his neck - J just didn't know when to stop. Remember your fear can actually cause the thing you fear the most happen --- try to believe that J will be OK. That he will not grow up big and hit you or things - but just for today - he was very, very troubled. [/QUOTE]
