[quote=Anonymous]Agree that he's creating space from you with his behavior. That's good. It's developmentally normal and preferable to having a kid who stays too attached in a younger way. But it sucks when they are mean. I roll with some low level rudeness (like taking a tone or snapping at me) because I know there were times I did that to them as an exasperated parent. We're all human. I stare at babies/toddlers in stores and feel sad and wistful. Then I go on with my day. You say he's "bored" in therapy. His therapist definitely shouldn't work with you all as a family, but I wonder if your DS could collaborate with the therapist in coming up with some guidelines for you handing over more independence (and some tips for your DS on how to ask for it). Do you ever check in with the therapist? [/quote]
