He is my concern. He has this dicotomy of personality that intrigues and frustrates me. He is a know-it-all. He knows everything. He is 8 years old and there is not a thing that I tell him that he is not contradicting me on or telling me I am wrong or giving me his take on...to a stubborn degree. It can be right in front of his face and he will say it is not so. Drives...me...nuts...

BUT...there is this side to him that seems to need building up. He seems fragile and insecure. And I worry over him because I know the big blustery know it all is covering for the insecurities.



Hmmm...does he post on this board as cjhsa???

I'm not a parent, so I will leave now.

Remember, children practice on Mothers whom they love and trust.

This is very hard on Mothers, but children thrive.

Mismi--

A little embarrassment is part of family living. Always has been. Always will be.
