> Ilene's post rocked. I echo everything she wrote. Also look for the book "Raising Your Spirited Child: A Guide for Parents Whose Child Is More Intense, Sensitive, Perceptive, Persistent, Energetic" by Mary Sheedy Kurcinka. I am the mother of intelligent 4- and 6-year old boys. My older boy is energetic and doesn't need much sleep at all, which is tough enough, but my younger boy is stubborn (intransigent is a better word) and impulsive. I still need to hold his hand in a death-grip in parking lots.

"Intransigent"! One of my favorite words. And yes, the death grip. My 17-yr-old complained about it just the other day. When she was 4 I used to grip her wrist so tightly that any movement was painful. I used to tie her to the stroller, too. You can imagine the looks I got.

What's strange is that at 17 she is not a risktaker. She's such a timid kid I sometimes worry about GAD/SP. She *did* agree to take the bus home from night school tonight because I am feeling sick. This is something that scares her, but she knows that I am afraid to drive at certain times.

The kids are 13 and 17. Much of the time the best thing I can do is withdraw. If I had known my life was going to be like this, and there was a genetic component to my ilnesses, I would never have had kids.

Thanks for your post. I am having a bad day today. Everything *hurts*.
