[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 250554, member: 1991"] Sheila, you're right. When it's too intense, you can't redirect. It'salways worth a try, but frankly sometimes the best, and quickest, way to deal with te problem sometimes, is head on. Just sit with him, take the time it needs, and help him deal with it. Trying to hurry a kid through can often take you far longer than it would have to just sit tere and get him to talk it out. Serious suggestion for all of us - let's all take our own crash course in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and learn how to help him change focus by really identifying and thinking about what is bugging him. Because we can't always have a pocket therapist handy for such occasions, we need to be sufficiently capable to be able to fill in the gaps and do the job. And at least WE know OUR kids.
