[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 22915, member: 3419"] Good point. I can relate. I've always had that problem. Part of it is a failure of imagination on my part, LOL! But also that I'm so concerned with-being "right," I lose track of the benefits of swift consequences. One of the things my difficult child will do is claim he didn't have that big of a meltdown, or that he doesn't remember it. I'll say, "Mommy remembers it. You hurt my ears and my feelings, and you didn't act like a Big Boy." (The therapist is into Big Boy, Little Boy behavior.) And then I'll have him write he's sorry for... whatever, 10X. That usually triggers the memory. My difficult child isn't incapable of understanding consequences, just much slower at digesting the information in an age-appropriate manner. I have to pretend he's 4 or 5. (I was pretending he was 8 but that didn't help me much!)So the photos that were suggested to you might be as helpful to you as to the kids. [img]:cool:[/img] [/QUOTE]
