    I dont know what your thougths are about star signs or the like.. but when i read your description of your son and how he interacts with the other kids, i right away thought of how i was as a kid and i thought, thats just typical capricorn behaviour!!!

    Us Caps get things set in our head that may or may not be close to reality and when things dont match whats in our heads, we get the poo's. When other kids dont do what we want them to to fit into our little "picture" of playing, it will annoy us to no end!!! (i even find this with my own children, they dont play how i want them to lol, i have to take a deep breath, let go and remember i am playing with them, not the other way around :-) ) Maybe find some info on different star signs- there would be one on the net somewhere for kids and there are probably some strategies and tips for dealing with each little person of the zodiac. Depends how much you beleive of all that, i dont personally take any notice of the weekly stars in the newspaper, but i have met too many people who are so typical of their zodiac sign that i beleive there is something there!! Might be worth a looksie!!

    It does also sound like normal kids behaviour- my DS hates it if his lego man doesnt sit properly in the tractor, and heaven help us if he is trying to put the wrong man in the wrong truck who doesnt fit!! After many attempts they both get thrown and the crying starts... BUT its not ALL THE TIME.... it is often, but not all the time!!

    Good luck!! I hope things improve for you soon xxoo

    ETA>>>> OOPs, big booboo... your DS isnt a Capricorn lol!!! Sorry!!! Please feel free to ignore all i said!!

    lol Starbright, thats ok about the booboo

    Thanks for all of your replies, I will definately be googling the sensitive child issue and also thanks for the recommendations of the books..

    Guess i'm just tired and fed up and now dh is talking about another baby, don't know if I could handle all of this again

    It is good to hear other peoples children react like this, because I have not seen it in any children that I know.
