[QUOTE="keista, post: 476327, member: 11965"] Insane took the words right out of my mouth. Here's a novel idea. Watch inappropriate TV with difficult child 1. Seriously. I saw this idea on a Lifetime TV show, and kinda implemented it into my parenting, because, hey, I'm lazy and LOVE the TV. Anyway, the show was "Strong Medicine" and on one episode they had this Aspie kid who the mom had brought in because he got beat up in school......again. So the receptionist, a soap opera fan, clicked into it and used the soaps to teach the kid to recognize body language associated with emotions, and then the proper responses. The logic was, that on soaps, the acting is exaggerated, so easier to identify. I assume once the kid got the hang of it from soaps, move on to something more subtle. So, start doing play-by-plays of what's going on on TV. Oh, Tom must be REALLY angry to hit Jerry with that frying pan. In real life, that is so wrong - ppl go to jail for that. Whatever he's watching, find the connections and comment. For this specific situation, I'd be emphasizing behavior more than emotion, because yeah, X could be happy and enjoying himself while being abusive so it gets more confusing. Evening news comes on? Oh my word! That mother hit her son with a belt. WOW! they arrested her too! Hope she goes to jail for a VERY long time. Be loud and and EXAGGERATE your disapproval and your thoughts of how to resolve things or what judicial results may be. difficult child 1 needs this skill yesterday to protect himself, but he will also need it for his future.
