[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 599985, member: 3419"] P.S. I just remembered that if it was just me and my difficult child, and we had more time, I could walk away from the counter until he calmed down, and then get him to practice his "normal" voice technique. Usually it would be about 3 X in a row. Once wasn't enough--it was just a begrudging "sorry" and a mumble. And 4 X would cause another meltdown. It's a lot of trial and error. But just to get my son to walk up and talk the cashier on his own would cause so much anxiety, he'd rather scream at me and cause a ruckus than to place the order. I'll bet your daughter has anxiety issues. Of course, she doesn't know what it means, and won't admit it, but yelling "NO!" when you're just asking something simple like that is a giveaway. [/QUOTE]
