Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Something that did me a lot of good was I used to stay with my grandma a lot, and every single time I wanted anything, food or whatever, she'd make me say 'please' and when I got it she'd make me say 'thank you'. At first she'd have to tell me what to say and have me repeat it, then later she'd ask me " now what do you say? " and I'd remember, and finally it just turned into habit for me. > My son is 9 now and I could not leave him until he was about 8 years old without him acting like a small child. After I left, everyone said that he was fine while I was gone. Now, I can leave him without one complaint. > > He also does not like to say please and thank you to anyone other than my husband and I and he doesn't want to hear I love you or get hugs from someone. About a month ago, the Dr. put him on Risperdol at night before bed and right after going on it he started to allow me to hug him and he would invent ways to hug me. He still doesn't like the words I love you though. I think it is the way it makes him feel inside, the emotions involved or something. > He also had touching issues, he said that it used to feel like it burnt his skin when someone touched him. Now I can touch him without him jumping at all. > He is also adopted and his mother did crack, alcohol and smoked while he was in the womb, up until 3 months before he was born. There has to be something too it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
