Anyone watching I hate mum on bbc1?

[Alambil]

mmm

why has it taken them 5 years to send him to a specialist?

you'd have thought faster intervention would help!

Ye-es... Not sure about this but wondering if, perhaps, not saying "look what you've done, you've hurt mummy" might not be as effective as taking something away from him. Also, I'd have that bloody door handle off. That said, I have no experience of this kind of behaviour so perhaps not fair to comment.

yes, I'd have taken the tv off him along with the entire door, perhaps! (but I am rather extreme like that!)

Yep, I'm a heartless cow. Poor little boy is anxious and I'm suggesting punishment. Think I'll learn a lot from this.

yeh me too...

am getting concerns about ds and his lack of discussing angry feelings - should take notes!

Phew, Lewis, glad it's not just me. I dread my DD growing up with these kinds of problems.

Lewis do you think, though, that it is harder for boys to express things? I think a lot of society stuff is very hard for boys now.

I have a DSD though who will not discuss her feelings, even when she's in floods of tears she will swear blind there is nothing wrong.

half watching.
half grateful for my adorable troublefree touchwood 3.

not getting it at all. not a jot. i have a DS with autism and a DD NT....are kids really just born like this???? or made like this?

id say the latter personally. but what do i know.

This Ryan is clearly not feeling very loved...

LOL slarty!

I dunno about the boy/girl divide... I am trying to impress with DS that speaking and saying "aarrrrhh I'm so angry" (or whatever) is more productive than stamping his foot.

Not entirely sure about HOW to do that though so am screwing it up quite regularly

I am watching with interest; I find it very hard to express my feelings and am worried that DS1 (4.7) is similar - he already seems to resort to lashing out rather than thinking/speaking.

he's very angry about his dad isn't he? So much going on in his head.

His name is not Ryan btw

Vicar, do you mean they have learned the behaviour (or rather, not been guided in another way to react) and it's nothing to do with SN?

I think he doesn't want to admit to his mum that he wants his dad to love him. Glad he's not my problem but can't help but feel a bit sorry for him.

I think boys aren't given enough credit for their feelings generally, I have to remind myself what a sensitive little soul DS1 is.

Oddly, I feel more uncomfortable watching this than I did watching the one born every minute. It feels like cameras deffo shouldn't be in these discussions.

how would a 10 year old know if he felt pessimistic?!

or inferior?

There is no consequence for that Adam misbehaving. None. He smacks his little brother (who, I think maybe laid it on a bit) but no consequence for Adam at all.

mmmmm interesting being behind the mirror
