I'm a bit of a lurker, but have had an issue with 6 yr old FS. He's been with us for 7 months as a legal risk, but has visits with gma every other week and phone calls 1x week from mom in prison.
The problem is that he is constantly seeking attention. His emotional age is much younger than 6, more on the level of my 4 year old. He cannot stand for someone else to have attention, or to not be engaged at all times. I try to ignore, but it makes me sooooo irritated! I homeschool my 4 kiddos, so he's with me all day. It's worse after visits, and I don't think he understands what he's doing. He has sensory issues, lots of neglect. I just can't figure out how to get him comfortable with a healthy level of attention. Help!
