[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here:  Should I work on helping my son understand not everyone presents emotions the same way or in ways that aren't obvious?  I think some of the problem is that grandma doesn't seem/look/sound sad so he is confused that her words that don't match her actions.  My concern is that it contradicts a lot of the training/therapy we have worked and not sure if he is at a point that it wouldn't confuse him.[/quote]

My layperson's response is yes, though you might discover that this is a bridge too far right now.  But if he's asking about whether she is sad, then clearly he is already thinking about it.

I don't know how your child learns best but with ours I used to draw stories with thought bubbles to help them get a sense of what people might be thinking.  Perhaps a picture of your grandmother with a thought bubble that says, "I'm really sad about my dog, but I will try not to show it so that we can all have a nice time and think about happy things."[/quote]
