[QUOTE="Jena, post: 394888, member: 4514"] i'm with jjj. you gotta lock down on the appointment you have available. i get where your coming from our other children take a huge hit from our difficult child's. if i were you i'd make a plan. a plan on where your 9 year old can go when difficult child melts down that way. i'd make rules post if necessary and remember not to escalate the meltdowns the best that you can. i know i've done it if i get in the middle of it and say anything yet calming words it escalates. when i think what i'm saying is ok it isnt'. just rules consequences stick to your guns and start with calming words bigtime. if you have a stereo play calming music during trigger times for your difficult child. sounds crazy yet calming music does help. you totally get where the triggers are so be prepared for each of these situations before they happen. have other child engaged in something else so this way u can focus on difficult child during the meltdown. also our kids i've come to learn like an audience. when i walk away from my difficult child which i just had to do a bit ago she shortens her temper tantrum. i was nervous what she'd do alone in it. yet she saw no one's watching me and calmed a bit sooner. good luck and yea i know it bites. i've been popping magnesium to calm myself and drinking kava kava tea. it def helps. meditate do what you gotta do to stay sane!! good luck!
