[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 108157, member: 3388"] Sharon, I think Beth's idea is a great one. I'm positive this idea would work on my easy child. However, I also think that as others have pointed out, unless your difficult child has empathy for others, it probably won't work. I know that this wouldn't work for either of my difficult children. I would have to say that I like Janna's idea. I can see this possibly working on my difficult children because of the fact that there is a reward for them if they don't use the hateful words. My difficult children definitely need an incentive to change their behavior. I also like Marg's idea about substituting a harmless word or phrase for the offensive one. However, I don't know if my difficult children would do this. I think my difficult children would use a nasty phrase for the negative impact it has on others. If the phrase didn't have the same negative impact on others, I don't think they would use it. This is just my two cents and my thoughts on my difficult children. As I said, I think it is a good idea and worth a try. I'm sorry your difficult child is still in a downward spiral. I hope things improve soon!!! Thinking of you and hoping tomorrow will be a better day. WFEN [/QUOTE]
