[QUOTE="mandcc96, post: 147676, member: 5075"] Thank you all for the input. It's very helpful and I try to keep it in mind whenever we're about to go a round. The less I speak the sooner it ends. But I'm also making sure that she knows what the exact rules are so there's no room for arguing. I am definitely going to read the article about self-control. I have also tried to work with a points system, but unfortunately it hasn't worked for us so far since I've always had a hard time keeping up with it on a weekly basis. But the suggestion for a daily system might work for us. I know that the shorter the term at this point, until minimal goals are met and time increments can be increased gradually, is what is going to work best for us to achieve longer term goals. difficult child also has issues with us getting sidetracked by her youngest sisters health problems. The baby's need can change from day to day and for someone who needs a strict routine to stay on target, those changes (especially when it meant being away from home for me and husband at the hospital) were too difficult for her to be able to stick to her routine and not lash out. If anyone has any templates for short term point schedules/calendars that they would like to share, I'd be very appreciative. Thanks. -Chastity [/QUOTE]
