Mom? What's a difficult child?
I am so sorry about your ankle and the whole episode.
Impulse control and the ability to retain information or learn new information in regards to how to handle oneself in this world... ahhh, punishment-consequences!
We just had a heated debate with therapist about this yesterday!
husband flat out said we will not punish K when she is violent, we will not call the police, she will go into her room to self soothe, we will not allow her violence- if he has to he WILL restrain her.
But she is getting almost to big for me to handle.
therapist does not want us to call 911 but she thinks K can learn right now.
We feel when K is unstable her impulse control and ability to reason goes out the window.
She has a hard time anyway but add these things in to the mix and WOW, violent, aggressive, ask her to stop doing something!!!
So we walk on eggshells until we can figure out all of this again and get a tiny bit of balance again.
I don't know if our kids will ever get it?
We have been working on impulse control as far as her hands for almost 4years now... not much has changed.
But we do let her know what her actions have caused and how they have affected her and us. We talk about how she and all of us could have handled it differently, does she get it? Who knows, maybe somewhere down in her brain somewhere...
I hope you feel better soon
