[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 476381, member: 1991"] We have one of those marvellous emotion face charts. difficult child 3 never looks at it. Something his aide did for him in mainstream that worked, though, was a clock face (the home made sort, made out of cardboard) with emotions drawn on it (pictures of "angry", "sad", "happy", "bored" and so on) and one 'hand' or pointer so the child can choose ht emotion he is feeling, and express it non-verbally. Encourage the child to move the pointer to how he feels. Use the word on the chart as well as an image, so he can learn to associated the image with the word. And I would use "grumpy", but also have a couple of grades such as "angry", "furious" and "annoyed". He needs to learn the different grades of "grumpy" as X defined it. If he is using the chart himself, to describe how he feels, I'm betting there are times he wants to slam things around. Teach him that there is another label. "Grumpy" is still valid, but now he is older there are more accurate descriptions within the "grumpy" category. This way he is not being asked to overturn all the previous stuff, because tat would be confusing, conflicting and in some way asking him to deny his experiences and loyalties (however misguided). But it could be the beginning of helping him to see a broader perspective on what he already understands. Marg [/QUOTE]
