[QUOTE="fun fam, post: 606372, member: 15196"] I feel like I wrote a bunch of "bad" stuff about my son detailing his difficulties. Here are his strengths for a more well-rounded picture: --he is awesome with animals and loves them so much. He took care of a stray cat for awhile till it disappeared. It turned out my neighbor had called animal control. We have three pets rats and he plays with them all the time. He will take them to his room and play with them. I know he's not hurting them because if you scare them in any way, or accidentally step on their tail (I've done this), they squeak LOUD! They never squeak when he is playing with them. Plus I pop my head in to check and he is always just sitting there, gently playing with the rat. He is their best friend. --he is really nice to his little brother. He has occasionally hit him, but not hard and its mostly just normal sibling stuff and aggression towards his 3 year old brother is rare. For the most part, he is kind and protective and nice to his little brother. They can be playing in the room next to and I don't worry that difficult child will do something bad to his little bro. --he is a really fast learner, as long as he is interested in the subject, and has a great imagination too. He taught himself some of the multiplication tables this summer. --he get intensely angry, but he is also intensely loving. When he's in a good mood, he will often yell out LOVE YOU MOM and a give me big hug, several times a day. He loves to cuddle on my lap. --he is remorseful for his violence. sometimes he will give me one of his favorite toys to say he is sorry and make me feel better. I don't know if this helps you understand him anymore, but it felt good to write about some of his better traits! [/QUOTE]
