[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 380418, member: 6546"] The key here (which is much easier with older children) is to LEAVE THE ROOM AND GO SOMEWHERE THEY CANNOT FOLLOW. Lock yourself in your bedroom/office/bathroom if you have to....get in your car and drive around the block....go to a neighbors house. The idea is that your very presence is fueling their behavior. They call you a name...they see you get angry - Bingo!=Payoff!!! You engage them? MAJOR payoff! Now they get to be "hurt", the "victim" and "o poor me - Mom is so mean". If you are in your bedroom doing something that sounds happy (playing music, for example) they can stand outside your door and scream every bad name in the book - but what good does it do them? And if they need to get that anger out - LET THEM. What do you care? You're not there being abused... [/QUOTE]
