[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 85573, member: 3388"] Deb, I hope the appointment on the 18th goes well. Living with difficult children is so hard. From reading your signature, I see that you and I have something in common. We both have three children close in age with the older two being boys and difficult children, and the youngest being girls and PCs. Even when the medications are working, I've found life to be extremely challenging!!! I hope the psychiatrist is able to give Chris the right medications and he improves soon. I don't know why, but my difficult children always repeat their negative patterns of behavior too. Sometimes I think they can't help it, and other times I think they must find something satisfying from doing it. Do you think Chris is enjoying all the extra attention you're giving him after his "melt-down"? Some of the best advice I was given from difficult child 1's therapist is when dealing with difficult children's negative behavior, say as little as possible. I had to teach myself not to raise my voice or let them know that they have had a negative effect on me. I had to learn to respond in short five or six word sentences. I had to learn to walk away and ignore the negative behavior as much as possible. It helps but I HATE having to live like this!!! Well, I hope today is a better day for you...WFEN [/QUOTE]
