[quote=Anonymous]I feel you. We're being driven a bit crazy ourselves this week. 9-yr-old DC has been doing great for the most part but is now going through a rebellious phase of defiance, rudeness, disrespectful treatment, some meanness, and blame-casting. Combine this with a long history of perseveration and narrow interests and you have a prescription for driving parents crazy. DC has long struggled with the perseveration and narrow interests but at the same time was cheerful, eager-to-please, and positive, making it much easier for us to help with the tough stuff. We're going to have to fasten our seat belts to deal productively with these issues during a phase of rebellion. . . Right now the rudeness is mostly directed to us, which we can handle, and not to teachers or other authority figures, who still get DC's best effort and love DC. Trying to nip this in the bud before this causes DC social harm and renders DC a much less attractive classmate. . . [/quote]
