The information is...Thank God bossy means healthy! The information is great. I get to be such a mother bear sometimes about some of those details. People just don't get it. Boys are loud and need to play rough. If they don't get that time, they start slowly destroying everything and everyone around them. They have such difficulty sitting still, they have such trouble enduring something boring, they loathe anything that lacks action. I am so relieved that you found good professionals because not all I have run into are quite as enlightened. Unfortunately, alot of boys fall through the educational cracks and end up with diagnoses and drugs that may not have been needed. Thanks for all the information--what a treat.Texashollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17982077447405220888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-78831059137054715172008-02-06T17:51:00.000-08:002008-02-06T17:51:00.000-08:00Great information, and I've seen a lot of this fir...Great information, and I've seen a lot of this first hand in the preschools I've taught. The girls were sitting at a table during freeplay, doing puzzles or drawing, and the boys were building forts, and flying airplanes around the room LOUDLY! I am fascinated by it all - more! give me more!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13164420416881517854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-46226452840616913852008-02-06T16:11:00.000-08:002008-02-06T16:11:00.000-08:00allow me to smile and hug you from afar because i'...allow me to smile and hug you from afar because i've been through all of this. granted, i did not get the all clear for my little D, but he's still the most perfect son i've ever birthed.Livhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09154719979114564561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-76256186832357496372008-02-06T15:19:00.000-08:002008-02-06T15:19:00.000-08:00That last line - was exactly what I was thinking a...That last line - was exactly what I was thinking as I read all this great information. Amazing, isn't it - AMAZING some of that information. I have always held to certain beliefs about boys - not really knowing facts - but some of what I thought I believed was here in your lists - very interesting. I'm glad to hear your Boy is doing well - glad you put your mind at ease. SEe you soon - KellanKellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07882991320065439298noreply@blogger.com
