[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like what you said, a need for control. I would try to find opportunities where he can make the decisions. Like, "We are going out to lunch, do you choose McDonalds or Wendys?" Hopefully, you being okay with either choice, that will somewhat satisfy his desire for some power in his life. When he makes random proclamations about which door you should go into or which turn you should make, maybe if you just say, "Sorry, my choice. Your choice is coming soon!" and then find another opportunity for him to be the decider soon. Even little things, like "Shall we take the stairs or the elevator?" Just my suggestion, kids often feel very powerless and it bothers some more than others.[/quote]
