[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 485269, member: 11847"] besides mental health, J could have some behavior issues just because of who/what he is in a small french rural community: multi-cultural, multi-lingual north african adopted little boy. I know you are aware of it, and that on its own can explain A LOT. Yourself feel kind of the outsider, I'm sure your son feels it as well. He might be too young to actively work on issues like this, but I'm sure there are a lot of books tackling the subjects. You might not find one book about J's very unique situation, but a few put together might help him even if not self aware of it yet. I know what it is to live in a different country and after moving so much it's like one belongs everywhere and nowhere at the same time (if I make any sense), add to that a race and adoption factor: it has to weigh quite a bit in the balance. I am not trying to imply that people actively reject him/you, but there is a lot of unconscience dynamic. As he grows older, he will be better equiped to talk about his feelings and, maybe, that is an area of his life that will need therapy. [/QUOTE]
