[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi just wanted to say sorry your having such a tough time at work, some kids can be challenging. I definitely think you have the right to be annoyed, and seek help.

I would suggest always having an alternative suggestion for his behavior to start out. Like: Hey, it's not hugging time right now but we can do___, or ____. Give him 2 choices when you can. [/quote]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I have been doing this lately and it seems to be catching on. He will actually say it himself sometimes lol. He will ask me "it's not hugging time but time for me to finish my lunch right now right? But I get to hug you when I nap and before you go home?" Bless his heart.  But this has to be done. Today he did start reverting back a bit but his parents were around a lot so it sent him into overdrive with needing reassurance from me. I even asked him if he wanted to hug his mom some and he changed the subject.

I was thinking of suggesting to the parents that when they come home to grab him and give him a tight squeeze and gush over him for a few moments. You know really embrace him and love on him. But then Wednesday I asked him to go give mom a hug and when he did she quickly said "gently! You don't have to hug me so roughly."  I nearly gasped out loud. All he did was grab her around her hips. I know he has issues with being rough so we work on that but a hug after being away all day I think would warrant even picking him up and squeezing him. So I decided to not talk to them about this and just keep loving on him myself but keep boundaries and limits. This is really a strange situation I appreciate you alls input a ton![/quote]
