[QUOTE="Andy, post: 379595, member: 5096"] Thank you Shari - Our ride home from the bowling alley last night was not much fun while I tried to explain how I was seeing this and he tried to tell me that I was sending him the message that I agreed he was a loser since I would not give him the rootbeer float. I got to hear his egotisctical view points on how it is o.k. if others tell their parents they are the best but they best know and recognize that difficult child is really the best. Ugh! I was so excited about him journaling these type of things but he is refusing - a combination of not quite sure how and when I explain says that it would be too long.I can't live with him when he is #1 for the moment, I can't live with him when he is #2 for the moment, and I certainly can't live with him when he is on the bottom for the moment.The newpaper article really did help his game though. It gave him the confidence to continue and knowledge that he is a good bowler. I have seen a huge improvement this week. Now to just teach him to bring that big head of his down a few notches. That he doesn't have to worry about what others think - it is not his duty to make sure others see him as the best and not tease him when he goofs up. [/QUOTE]
