... and it's driving me insane!!!
[This is NOT a rant thread.}
What in the world can I do??
(I realize the solution will require long-term application.)
I'm 90% sure he's ENFJ, it's just that he's pretty observant and has a great sense of direction, so...
But otherwise, when you take in the big picture, he seems ENFJ, or even INFJ, at times.
This morning I was supposed to have him at school at 7 AM. He was supposed to wake me up at 6:15, but he overslept and woke me at 6:55. He didn't want to take the time to eat. He said he guessed he would just have to wait until lunch time (which he's always starving for, by the time it comes). So I grabbed a food bar and poured him some milk in a travel mug so he could eat in the car on the way over.
When we arrived at school, I realized he hadn't eaten, so I suggested he should bring the stuff in with him. He refused! It's like he punishes himself on purpose. He's way too rigid and I don't know how to help him!
He has always been stubborn and perfectionistic. It started when he was 2.
His biggest problem is controlling his desire to break things when he gets frustrated.
He's not "sick" enough to need medication.
Anybody had success with this??
