[quote=Anonymous]OP, I wonder if anxiety is in play here as well.

My own dc, 11 (ASD, spd) does not yet tie shoes. It's very frustrating for them. It's ok, there are enough shoes in the world that stay on not using shoestrings, especially for kids. There is also shoetying practice boards you can buy-maybe he could practice privately so there is not the pressure of parent watching.

As far as the puberty stuff-I gave my dd the 'care and keeping of me' american girl book (I imagine there is something similar for boys) and let her read it herself-she did not want to discuss it with me. I have other kids also and this is typical-often schools do a unit on this stuff at the end of 5th grade. She actually just had it last month and did fine in that setting. I let her know that she can ask me anything anytime and where the supplies (for menstruation when it starts) are in the bathroom.

The sunscreen-can you take him to the store and let him pick one? Even if it's one you would not normally choose-maybe a sport spray? He might be more open to using it if it's one he chooses.

I know this stuff is frustrating, OP. We have to accept our kids for who they are and do what we need to do to get them where we are trying to go.[/quote]
