[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 186383, member: 3419"] Can you hire a sitter and take her alone in the car and run errands? Just to practice the "driving calmly" part. Ea time she throws something at you, pull over. I slammed on the brakes once when difficult child wasn't wearing his seatbelt, too. He never did that again! Now if he sees me yank the wheel to the right, he says, "Okay, I didn't mean it!" and we don't even have to pull over. Every now and then I pull over anyway and throw open his door and just do a stare-down. You HAVE to mean it. The problem is, when you've got other kids in the car and you're on a tight schedule it makes it difficult. That's why the practice runs are so important. Eventually, you can bring in the other kids, but you have to warn them first. Good luck. been there done that ... too many times. [/QUOTE]
