[QUOTE="Shari, post: 173290, member: 1848"] I'm not excited about the in-home's approach. She thinks ignoring this will make it stop. We are to say "Ow. That hurt." then ignore it. If he escalates, we are to make up some excuse unrelated to him that gives us a reason to leave the area he is in. I have attempted to ignore his behavior in the past, and it doesn't work. He follows me, escalating all the way, until something happens that makes him think I am going to leave him (I do NOT do that on purpose - altho it is tempting...) but I haven't said "ow that hurts" before I did it. Sometimes I have said that I am going to lock myself in my room until he can stop hitting me, or something like that. Doesn't usually make it stop, either. This lady taught at the local school for behavior-problem kids. She comes with good recommendations. I'm trying to be optimistic, but I have to admit I have some reservations about her plan. I think she is underestimating what she's dealing with, but I could be wrong (and hope I am). He was on the lowest dose of Straterra, so there really wasn't a way to wean him off. I didn't think from the lowest dose that he'd need to be weaned..? [/QUOTE]
