[QUOTE="klmno, post: 265769, member: 3699"] This sounds like a time out room (not really a "safe room") to me. We have them here for kids with severe ED. Also, the psychiatric hospital where difficult child was last had one- although it was used for needing something in between a safe place and a punishment. Anyway, it was a place to vent and in my humble opinion, if you (not you, Shari, the sd) are providing and allowing a place to vent, then you shouldn't be keeping score or tallies for what is done while venting. That's ridiculous. The whole point of it is to provide an appropriate place to let these things out. Look at the message this kid is getting- "ok, here is your place and time to just let all those fruystrations out", then "oh, he shows all this frustration, maybe we should get him out of here". Those people need some more training. PS- I agree that the concept of the room doesn't teach coping skills anyway. It's another method of behavior modification, nothing cognitive about it. Has any therapist ever tried play therapy with your son? Another thought, although you've probably already looked at this, sometimes giving medications at different times of day/evening or changing to or from time release can have a great effect on when the difficult child is sleepy, active, etc. [/QUOTE]
