He said he had fun. I think he likes dodge ball when others get hit, but he's not really keen on getting struck himself. :)Yujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17025841543342602157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4687526100634149438.post-26192083433367967002013-08-17T17:00:49.862-05:002013-08-17T17:00:49.862-05:00It's been a while since he chewed up a shirt! ...It's been a while since he chewed up a shirt! And you're right...his 'regular' staff would have caught the anger early and helped him turn his attention elsewhere and defuse it. And I guess you found out he doesn't like dodge ball. :) Hope the rest of the week went well...Betsy Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807795605763246015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4687526100634149438.post-11870842366033449202013-08-15T18:11:10.419-05:002013-08-15T18:11:10.419-05:00Steph, you raise an interesting point.

He hasn't said anything about that yet. <br /><br />If our only interest was for him to be happy right now, we probably would do things differently. But you are right that we are trying to prepare him for the world, and that means exposing him more and more to different experiences, often those outside his (and our) comfort zones. <br /><br />Thanks, Steph.Yujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17025841543342602157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4687526100634149438.post-4615126251559392222013-08-15T18:07:29.240-05:002013-08-15T18:07:29.240-05:00Kai does have passion, no doubt about it.

We've got to find ways for him to keep his anger under control. He has improved a lot, but we still have a ways to go.Yujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17025841543342602157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4687526100634149438.post-82694632849943415912013-08-15T15:42:49.863-05:002013-08-15T15:42:49.863-05:00It's trial and error isn't it. He must be ...It's trial and error isn't it. He must be getting to the age/stage where he realises that his reactions are not the same as the others, and probably he holds his feelings in a lot more of the time. But I know I'd feel wary of letting my girl join the masses for this very reason - the unpredictability of how they will react. We do have to prepare them for the big wide world though, so you're doing your best xStephs Two Girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592292485187553690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4687526100634149438.post-91435711048245217022013-08-15T15:03:25.954-05:002013-08-15T15:03:25.954-05:00I don't mean to sound flippant when I say this...I don't mean to sound flippant when I say this...Kai has energy and passion. He feels things in a deep and meaningful way to him...and so it must come out somewhere. I think this passion, when he matures and he finds his direction in life, will serve him well. He will be able to outwork others. I know I have said this before...but he is so blessed to have the amount of energy he has. You will see later on when he is able to concentrate this energy...he will excel in his passions.Shiroi Torahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05869506932268171410noreply@blogger.com
