Dh is at work and I need to tell an audience who will understand

[TheArsenicCupCake]

Ds feels embarrassed!! :o

he was talking about a girl at school and got embarrassed.. And then asked what he was feeling!!

And then repeated it lots and lots.. And we wrote down how it feels.

< does a little proud jig and passes cake around>

Oh yes, I know exactly how that feels. Amazing isn't it?

Honestly.. It bought a lump to my throat and a happy tear..

And I had to tell someone.

My boy feels embarrassed! How cool is that!

I remember mine discovering pride in being a group member and achieving something.
He was 12 and it was scouts.
He monologued about it for the rest of the week.

Goblin that's brilliant! Ds is almost twelve .. I wonder if it's a time where they start to get a grasp on it .

He was around 13 when other people's opinions and feelings started to register as something that ought to be considered without my always prompting him.

You know I always live in hope .. And tonight I am having a " you know what, itmight be okay ' moment in my head.. And I'm quite excited about the possability of watching him progress.

This is way way better than my dc is on the highest level ort book!

What a great thread, i'm chuffed to beans for him!!!

'you know what, it might be OK'
Mine will never Pass For Normal for long, but I think he is going to be OK. He's certainly made huge progress in understanding how to cope with many other human beings, and I can see him at Uni and with a job with very little effort.
And I married his dad, so even a relationship and family are possible.

Great thread - well done him :)

Oh how sweet!

Well done on a new feeling

Totaaly agree .. Ds does stick out like a sore thumb tbh.. But I'm good with Okay. Okay has a lot going for it and is a huge thing to achieve.

eloise thanks for joining in :o It means a Lot to me that you folk just know !

Ohh thanks 5 and violet :)

AAAAAw sweet

That's brilliant Arsenic. Well done to your little cupcake

Thankyou BD and FTL

well he is all tucked up on bed listening to the second book of how to train your dragon on audio.. Still wittering on about it! :)

can't wait till dh gets home now to tell him!

It is so great to hear little stories like this

:) it's nice to share a smile eviebaby :)

aaah how lovely!

:) TC

Star thankyou .. And aww shucks your comment bought another smiley lump to the throat!

actually I'm not sure if it's my parenting.. Ds is overly honest and gathers facts like a sponge... That combined with the emotion and feelings work we've been hammering at .. Is probably and logically the cause :)

at least he is now comfortable and mostly able to ask when he doesn't know.. Instead of just going into meltdown!

Fanstastic news, well done junior Arsenic and Goblin.

This has helped me a lot, actually. Ds has huge emotional deficits and he can't verbalise how he's feeling at all (he's nearly 12), so your comments give me hope that he might come to recognise his feelings as he matures. Thanks for that - I've had a crap few days worrying about it and it has made me feel much more positive.

Great! I live in better hope now too (Ds is nearly 11 but not HF)

That's so lovely and such a ray of hope for those of us with younger ones maybe they'll get there in the end too thanks for telling about it
