[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like your new perspective paid dividends really quickly.  Good for you for being able to override your initial reactions and come up w/ a different way to think about.

Kids, like animals, can often be highly intuitive but not have the language to express themselves effectively.  So if he is struggling w/ missing his mother, or feeling uncomfortable/uncertain around you, etc... that might manifest itself as the kind of behavior that was turning you off.  He then senses annoyance or dislike or disapproval from you and that further heightens his bad behavior.

On the other hand, if he senses kindness and empathy he may really change his behavior with you.  If he doesn't feel rejected he might really warm up.

I hope that's what happens.  Sometimes it's the most sensitive, hurt children that have the toughest behavior but the tenderest hearts.  I hope that's what you have here and your new approach will bring you both closer together.

Good luck and pls keep us posted.[/quote]
