[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 515843, member: 1169"] Anxiety is a horrible thing. Both of my sons and I have it. We each respond to different medications. Eeyore takes Abilify, Tigger takes Ativan and Clonodine and I am medication-free now but have taken Buspar and Xanax (and will again if I need to do so). I have found that traditional punishments (time outs, taking things away) just feed the anxiety and makes everything worse. When the boys were little we worked with a behaviorist and rewarded all positive behaviors and ignored all negative behaviors (unless we needed to stop them to prevent harm to someone). We had to be careful with the compliments as Eeyore rejected them, we have to reward "the behavior" and not "him" (ie. "I like that you put your dishes in the dishwasher." and NOT "You are so helpful!" [/QUOTE]
