[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 547456"] That sounds so familiar! difficult child 1 thinks he knows what's going to happen so he acts a certain way. When the REAL reason comes out (usually in a blurt in the middle of a meltdown), I simply tell him thank you for telling me and react in a way he doesn't expect no matter how I would have normally reacted. Does that make sense? I want to teach him to simply tell me the real reason but I am also trying to teach him that he's frequently wrong when he predicts without coming right out and pointing out he's wrong because that makes things worse. Not sure if that would work with your difficult child but just thought I'd throw it out there. [/QUOTE]
