I know for me the problem at hand was... not really the problem... in a lot of ways. Often there was no problem at hand. 3 or 4 in the morning were particulary common times. Mostly, it was when I was thinking about something, and I guess just had more drive than intellegence. I'm less worried about working through a frustrating activity, and more worried about working through the extreme reaction. This was a problem into my teens, and in many ways still is, so yeah. Arg.
I think the bits about pushing through frustration are important, and that would have helped me in the long run. Which is actually the most important thing anyway. I guess, though, I'm mostly concerned right now about the immediate handling of a second "stuck" incident.
DS is much more like me than I'm comfortable with. I've had some serious issues, and this one is a bit terrifying.
I think it would have been impossible to leave the ball run any quicker than we did. He would have hurt himself. I'm not strong enough to hold him by myself.
Ag, I really don't know. Maybe it'll never happen again and the choice of words was pure co-incidence.
