[QUOTE="nvts, post: 274741, member: 3814"] Alright PW! Give it up - how'd you do it? I know that you've been working with Jr. for a while, but I've been doing this for 10 years with difficult child 1 and I'm about to jump! The worst part is that he's having most of his outbursts as a reaction (doesn't matter that the anticedent is ever-so-slight!) to a sense of danger. He's in a school for ED kids that get violent quite frequently, so difficult child 1 "postures". You know, sort of like in nature when a potential victim "pumps themselves up" to appear larger rather than an easy mark. The main problem is that as long as he keeps behaving this way, I can't move him out of his current environment. His current environment is what fuels the "pump up/meltdowns". A vicious circle for sure! So...I'll do this for you...I'll be your best friend if you give me some direction...I don't know if you want a best friend, but my daughter tries this on me all the time expecting me to fold! Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide! Oh, and by the way - even though I'm TOTALLY jealous - great news about Jr. You really deserve a pat on the back - you've won that child's life back for him! Beth [/QUOTE]
