[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your husband active? Was he active as a kid? I mean, I'm a mom but I don't particularly enjoy shopping, so I'm not eager to take my daughter to the mall just to browse.

Thanks for response. DH was not active as kid in an unhappy family and so never really developed interests beyond reading.
To this day he prefers to sit while I like to get out. I feel like it is a disserverice to our child to let him waste away. I ends up thAT I am turned into the bad guy for making DS cry and get upset - while I am thinking of the long game[b] making him to a person with interests[/b].[/quote]
You cannot MAKE him a person with interests. You can help him develop interests, but not make him have them. Also, give credit to your DH for allowing your son to be who is, respecting his boundaries and not pushing him at the wrong times. You are the one causing the fits. There is a place in the middle where both you and hubby can help your son discover new things, push past his comfort zones and gain new skills and experiences. The therapist will likely help with this.[/quote]
