I don't think a counselor would hurt. Maybe it would be good for him to be able to talk to someone else. And maybe they can help him learn some calming/coping mechanisms. I think spending more time with friends his age would help. And you know I'm a HUGE believer in Yoga.
As far as the 6 year old thing, well... he's very high strung and emotional. I think that there are people in his life who favor Trey (and the way Trey acts). And that's hard on him. And I think that the people that DON'T favor Trey probably overcompensate and coddle Justin a bit.
But, like we talked about last night, he's very non-competetive and not very brave about new things. So school is undoubtedly freaking him out. And this is his first year not going to daycare AT ALL during the summer, right? So he went from having NO structure to having a LOT all at once.
And I wonder if maybe going off the meds over the summer is a good idea? Maybe going on them so suddenly is hard on him?
As you can see, I don't have any solutions, but I love you and him and I'll do what I can to help! I'm always available to talk.
