He sounds like a pleaser. Wanting to please you. I also think it's wonderful that you caught on to his feelings and helped him see it wasn't his fault.<br /><br />One of my 3 boys is very forgiving. His brother whacked him hard in the head with a metal pole and after he was done crying he said "it's ok, it was an accident" (but it wasn't). He's so quick to forgive. He's teaching me as I'm teaching him.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17774843453127963426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-20994690734813235242009-06-04T21:59:53.371-05:002009-06-04T21:59:53.371-05:00What a wonderful post.

One of them drives me nuts because he's constantly thanking me for nothing. Even if I've just tucked him in bed and told him I love him...."Thank you, Mom." <br /><br /> To me it seems like he feels unworthy or something, like Oliver Twist! But to him, he's just being thoughtful.The Sourcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01445281088837499229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-79222764474446376532009-06-04T14:18:32.022-05:002009-06-04T14:18:32.022-05:00Double gulp...sigh.
