[quote=Anonymous]OP -- I hear you. I have this very child. The advice I got from a CBT therapist was that we couldn't make our child feel the feelings but he had to take the appropriate actions. So, he doesn't need to love human beings, but he needs to say 'good morning." He doesn't understand why we have to give a bday gift to friends, but we do it. He has to sign the card. He has to be polite. He has to go through the motions until they become second nature. You will have to remind the child almost daily to do the little things. It just doesn't come naturally. It hurts my feelings as well. I get really down about this sometimes too. I could drop dead tomorrow and my child would probably be most concerned with who is going to make his lunch. :/[/quote]
