[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 378681, member: 1991"] Terry, we weren't ahead. We just did what worked. The usual baby games didn't work, and difficult child 3 was non-verbal. We had jargon speech and that was it. I give easy child 100% of the credit for starting that game with difficult child 3 - somehow she found the chink in difficult child 3's behaviour that opened up room for this game. No other game worked except "peekaboo" which was only one-way. difficult child 3 would laugh if we did peekaboo, but wouldn't do it back. Ranny, what I'm saying here is to keep looking for these chinks or openings in your connection to him. Where possible, meet him where he is and do what he does, be with him doing what he likes. And from there, lead him towards what you like (quid pro quo) as much and as far as he can tolerate. It shows him that you care and want to connect, and that also shows him that he is worth caring about. That's an important message for a kid who is beginning to hate himself. Marg [/QUOTE]
