[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 575029, member: 3419"] I agree with-Susiestar, that the therapist sabatoged the whole thing by giving in. If you say no, it's supposed to be no. It's supposed to teach difficult child how to cope, how to handle the change in routine and thought patterns. All she did was make him wait. I like the idea of getting him to understand the "why" of things, like the movie, and giving him delayed gratification, so he can watch the movie of his choice the next day. I've noticed with-my difficult child, he would eventually become interested in whatever was on the TV, even if he didn't choose it, because he is just drawn to the TV and videos. Unless he was in full-blown meltdown, we could work around it and distract him. You're doing a great job. I had to chuckle at Insane's idea to implement shades of green. I'd try it and see what happens. It is huge progress when your difficult child can name feelings and use the words. I cannot tell you what a change there has been in this household because of it!
