The main trouble with Cisco is that he gets overwhelmed...and I'm not sure how much of that is an act and how much is real. Maybe a class would help me figure that out.
One thing that makes me suspicious is that afterwards he often remembers what it was I was trying to teach him, though at the time he wouldn't do it for anything.
Hm. :-\
Well, I think Cisco's act is 95% avoidance. "If I act completely pathetic will you not put any more pressure on me?"
That doesn't mean you don't have to work through it, it just means I wouldn't be snowed by it. He's just always had it work for him before. Whatever you do, don't feel sorry for him, when he's actually abused, he'll know it - ;~)
