[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 384075, member: 6546"] Well things were so out of control (police etc) in my home that the main idea is to de-escalate the battling...and change the focus of difficult child's behaviors. For example, difficult child has never liked to bathe/shower...and difficult child focused a lot on the battle. If she even suspected we were going to try to get her to take a shower she would build up this massive rage and pitch a full-blown temper tantrum. Obviously - a very volatile situation. Instead, we have "dropped" the showering issue...and the idea is that somebody outside of the family is going to tell difficult child that she smells....and this will motivate difficult child to shower without feeling that she is "submitting" to the will of her parents. So far, though - whenever anyone has mentioned to difficult child that she smells, or her hair looks greasy, or her clothes look dirty...she just argues and tells them that they don't know what they are talking about. --sigh-- [/QUOTE]
