[QUOTE="ksm, post: 475884, member: 12511"] I tried to respond in the way that we practiced at the NAMI meeting last week - called "landing on the same run way" So if your difficult child "takes off" on one run way... you land it on the same runway. The example they gave was a little far fetched per our situation, but if difficult child says "Someone is trying to poison my food" then you could say "it must be very scarey thinking that your food might be poisoned" Or if they say "everyone hates me" then you could say "you must feel pretty alone right now". While it sounds logical, it is hard to do when a 13 yo girl is saying "I have nothing to wear" and the room and closet is over flowing with clothes. KSM [/QUOTE]
