[QUOTE="Junglelandmama, post: 421968"] Welcome Rose! Reading your post, felt like reading my own story with my difficult child. Any change in plans is a recipe for rage/meltdown, and mine is 13! My difficult child also does best in a super structured environment, which doesn't lend for a fun home life. Time outs are a joke, she refuses to move and I can no longer physically move her anywhere (5'10"!!). Our therapist says instead of time out, do time in. When we want her away from us, pull her in closer. I find that nearly impossible to do when she is screaming "Mom, you are such a b**ch!". And now CPS says we cannot even put soap in the mouth anymore, as if I could reach her mouth anyway! lol Sense of humor is one of the most important tools in my toolbox! Unfortunatly, my difficult child doesn't get sarcasm in a joking way and then rages over the joke. Lately she is mainly arguing with herself. We are trying hard not to engage and even so she continues to argue. husband walks away laughing because it really is funny if you can disconnect. I have a harder time with that. Anyways, another one for finding a good neuropsychologist, ours helped save our family by helping us see our difficult child beyond her issues and try to concentrate on her abilities. Hugs of welcome, Vickie [/QUOTE]
