[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 400789, member: 805"] Kuddos to his therapist! Shutting down/closing out aka walking away/silent treatment is a coping mechanism for many of our difficult children. Often others can look at it as a kid digging in his heels or defiant. My difficult child will just walk away. Interestingly enough, I was telling him night before last that walking away or avoiding a situation is not the answer. You have to confront not only your fears, but face the things that make you angry with a level of control. My difficult child uses this walking away as an alternative for anger. Wouldn't you know that as we were driving in to school yesterday morning, the morning talk show I was listening to was having a conversation about the Arizona shootings and one of the interviewees was talking about how important it was to face the unpleasant in life. By avoiding things that make us uncomfortable, we never learn to cope and move forward...etc., etc., etc. difficult child was listening...... Sharon [/QUOTE]
