[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 135124"] MB - She doesn't often like practical tips. She's too busy being stuck on I can't. I do continue to offer them (such as hand washing the cup), but when she keeps telling me she can't no matter what I suggest, it's time to ask her for ideas. So, I ask her how she could have handled it better to get her thinking and out of stuck mode. I also want her thinking about the inappropriateness of slamming things around and yelling because something didn't work out right away. Occasionally, offering a practical tip helps, but what she'd much rather happen is for me to take over and I'm trying to avoid that, too. I'm trying to only offer assistance when she asks for it instead of reacting to her outbursts. So, that's my rationale for approaching this the way I do, but it's not working either. [/QUOTE]
