Zach visited the ENT yesterday. It turns out the problem isn't with his ears, but with his attitude. A week of worry and the expense of a specialist visit all to tell me what I have known since the child was 4 months old...he doesn't like to cooperate when he doesn't see the value in the exercise.
I did ask the doctor if there was any sort treatment options for a child who can hear and just doesn't listen. Maybe a pill or some sort of shock therapy? I mean I should get something out of this visit, right? The doctor didn't think that was very funny. He informed me that this will pass in about 15 years. Someday, it seems, I will appreciate having a strong willed child. That someday is just a "short" 15 years away.
