Once a label is applied, it sticks, no matter what the subsequent behavior. I think a better way of looking at it is that Simon may have some challenges. Challenges are made to be overcome. To overcome a challenge is to be a success. And that’s what we want our children to be….successful! Lord knows, I was shy child and look at me now :).

Simon is NOT a difficult child. Like most children, Simon has some things he is better at than others, some things he likes more than others, and some things he prefers more than others. So do we all. It sounds like he’s a pretty typical 3 year old. You and Matt know him best–go with your gut.
