[QUOTE="Jena, post: 391825, member: 4514"] hi and welcome i never saw you in here before :) sounds like a crazy day for sure.......... i'm sorry i got tired reading it you must be exhausted lol. kids, difficult child's wow yup their a handful, drain you of your very existance at times. they do like chaos, drama and all the attention on them. at least mine does sounds like yours too. they can flip over a household in a heart beat and walk away as the parents stand there baffled and usually upset. i'm soo no expert i myself have driven myself into the ground handling mine. what i can say and what i've come to learn thru my own recent mistakes is draw firm boundaries behavior wise what will be tolerated, what wont' be. behavior and what consequence will follow. i used to have mine posted when my difficult child was a little younger than i thought ok i can pull it down now. NOT i'm throwing it back up again. I think making sure the medications are ok, double checking those to make sure the blow ups aren't a side effect of that and also checking to see if the medications she is taking are supposed to lower aggression and if they are why aren't they working? as far as the rest of it goes, i'm in awe of parents on here who work and handle their difficult child's. i used to be that also yet as of late past year i have not worked due to mine. it just got to be too much. id say go with boundaries in your home, what you will and won't allow like i said. also practice your responses to her meltdown's almost like tape recorded answers, make sure you dont' engage in battle to make her escalate and make it worse. i've done that also with my older one, we all do at times. they almost bait us and we jump in. do you guys spend any family time together? i mean doing fun stuff like a board game doesn't have to be expensive night out etc. i find that when we do that along with-the rules consequences as we did in the past it helps them fall in line a little better. sort of like punishing with one hand and hugging wtih the other if that makes sense to you. well good for you you survived your day. those are my ideas, i'm sure many will follow it's just a busy week with-holiday coming up and all. oh i've also learned my difficult child and i'm sure alot of other's get more revved up on holidays, instead of normal excited they get almost aggitated and irritable. maybe it's the loss of routine in their day, the unsurity of the holiday itself family members and just plain anxious for it to happen. (((Hugs))) hope your night and day tmrw goes better :) [/QUOTE]
