Because he wants to be so fiercely independent, he frequently (although not always)disagrees with most of what we say or suggest. Sometimes he'll even agree to the very same suggestion if it comes from someone other than his parents. Like Kalisha, though, he'll often nod and say he understands something just so that he doesn't have to engage in that topic or with that person anymore. Sometimes it's because he's internally distracted. When I stop and ask if he really understands, he'll admit that he wasn't listening and was either distracted or just wants to move on. In a way, I guess, it's a socially acceptable coping strategy. :-) Two in Transitionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14499512203447064999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3711934510745274600.post-76924613919858926292012-10-09T21:12:45.019-04:002012-10-09T21:12:45.019-04:00Yep, i experience that with Max.
