We're struggling with ds9 who is really sad and won't discuss with us what is going on. We're not sure he knows. We're getting the sense that it's school related but he's unable to communicate what is going on. Just to preface, he have testing and counseling support coming up but I'm gathering information on this topic. He's always been very sweet and a VERY easy child to set boundaries with, he hardly ever needs them. He stopped eating meat at 2 when he discovered that chicken is a chicken etc. I still hear 'they are animals!'. He thinks all day kindergarten is so sad because 'little kids shouldn't be away from there mother's all day'. Scooby Doo was still intense at 8. There doesn't seem to be any bullying and he's in a full time hg program that he's doing fine in and seems to be an okay fit. We're exploring all 2e options. Anyone have really sensitive kids and how do you help them cope?
