[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 190750, member: 3444"] Was he asking her if she knew why HE felt angry? Or why she did what she did that made him angry? Anger is usually from an expectation not met. Most kids don't understand it that specifically. At her age, and with her speech delays, she probably truly does not have the tools to express the reasons why she does what she does. And for that matter, most 6 yo's don't. I think it IS good, though, to continue working with her on defining and expressing her feelings, and helping her to understand what is expected of her. Sometimes we assume our kids know what we want and our reasons why (it's so obvious to an adult). difficult child's often need more overt lessons. Just my 2 cents! [/QUOTE]
