My ds8 has essentially been the easiest child, wants to do well etc and does most things when asked. There is a behavior coming to light that ,now that I look back, I've see before and it's becoming a problem. There are just certain things that he doesn't like others to tell him what to do. The coach wants him to catch a ball a certain way. His response 'why? My way is just fine' and he misses a lot of balls. His teacher says write your name here and he writes it someplace else, on purpose.If he writes it in the right place, it's super small and light, so it's hard to read. The are a few other places that this is coming up but you get the idea. I've read that the resisting authority can come up, but I haven't found much on ways to work through it. It's starting to interfere with his ability to learn new things. I'm wondering about perfectionism, visual spatial issues. Yikes, it's kind of complex. Any ideas?
