Re: I'm Learning-can you help me? ("Time-out")
Thos are great points, thanks. I did discover after the playdate was over that several of my son's toys were broken. It did make me reflect and wonder if some of his anger was stemming from that.
My son is definitely struggling with sharing/hitting/etc. I don't deny that. However, this playdate did get a bit out of control. It was a family of 5, and 4 of them were old enough to play-three of them older than ds, and very rough with his toys. I think it was way too much. Also, every single toy in the entire playroom was dumped on the floor-it was very overstimulating for ME, so I am sure it was for him as well.
I didn't set him up for success in this situation. I actually was kind of glad he chose to play in his room for awhile, because the rest of the house was pure chaos.
