Adolescence is about when grace based parenting becomes about boundaries and can look a little more like traditional parenting even if the heart of the motivation is different.

Thank you. I have always say that God gave me wiggle worm so that I know I am not the problem. Because early bird has not followed the books as to what a child will do sience she was about two.

Wiggle worm is definitely her own fistly self but the parenting books say I'd you wisper the child will lower their volume to match and she does, early bird will look at you and then scream even louder. It is like that with absolutely everything.

Early bird has an ADHD diagnosis and I still think that she is on the Autistic spectrum.Despite being told by an evaluation at 7 that she has add and anxiety and it can't be Autusm because she looks people in the eye. The thing is she doesn't she will look between your eyes, and if she has her glasses off it seems more like she is looking in your eyes. With her glasses on it is a lot more obvious that she doesn't. But she will fake it well for new people. The only time I have ever seen her sustain eye contact was atthe communion rail at the Lutheran Church we attended in Vermont for 9 months.
