[QUOTE="Wonderful Family, post: 208578"] been there done that through everything that's been said. Imagine difficult child at 4; grandparent's decided to make a trail with string to his x-mas present; difficult child, of course, lost it within minutes. We've been dreading certain holidays for years. One thought, difficult child tends to get "used" to things, and that helps a lot. We are looking at changing vacation plans to something we've done for the last two years over spring break. As I was discussing plans this weekend with sister in law; I told her to either plan for a or b; or assume we need to allow difficult child two days to adapt. sister in law never really argued about difficult child; but was shocked when she saw difficult child in full bloom and completely out of control this summer. To us a minor incident; but shocking to see that she couldn't "reach" difficult child." There were a few comments about difficult child wanting to be normal. We are hearing the exact same thing from our's; including a determined attitude that he is going back to public school next year. (We support the attitude, but don't think he'll be quite ready). Have you talked to him about what happened? This is pretty important to our difficult child to keep the lines of communication open, if possible. I'll tell difficult child where I went wrong; but that he is still responsible for his responses. One of many turning points for our difficult child this past year was his saying he is tired of his anger issues and what does he have to do to help it. It's still challenging and difficult, but the difference between having a kid who is trying; and doesn't makes all the difference. We often end-up backing down on consequences when we realize things that happened that might have led to the melt down; especally if Mom or Dad lost it. Take care; I know how often I do things wrong with difficult child and easy child. [/QUOTE]
