[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 118023, member: 393"] As bio mom admitted to using during pregnancy I agree with seeing a specialist in this area. Some of the damage done during pregnancy is significant (& horrendous) & not at all this child's fault. It's "hard wired" for lack of a better term. It's best to have all of these factors looked into - it may change the course of treatment for your difficult child. If what you're doing isn't working it's time to look elsewhere. As to the daily anger & being center of attention, you are right to detach from this. This level of emotion isn't healthy for your difficult child or your entire family. Physical safety is paramount. Call 911 & explain that you have a mentally ill child who needs transport to ER if difficult child gets physically aggressive or violent. in my humble opinion, threats of murder or suicide need to be taken seriously & addressed in this matter as well. (We've done it numerous times.) Rude/obnoxious behaviors are cause for a redo. I give kt a chance to "redo" her choice of behaviors. It's taken a few years to get this down but it's a calm way to redirect. Instead of timeouts, I do time in's. kt will be at my side for a period of time. Do what I do - it actually can turn into bonding time. Just a few suggestions that work on some days - not so much on others. [/QUOTE]
