[QUOTE="slsh, post: 126973, member: 8"] Personally, I would've have removed her from the pool and that would be the end of it. Restrain if necessary. You made a simple request, gave her choices (hat or come out of pool) and she refused to comply, then flew off the handle. Manic or no, it's unacceptable behavior (very easy for me to say *now*, being 10 years removed from the joys of raging young difficult children). But, from a distance, what has happened is she's gotten the reinforcement of she can do whatever she wants with no consequences. On top of it, she can rage however long she wants, again with no consequences. I'm sorry, but spitting has *always* been a hot button for me. To me, it's the epitome of disrespect. For her to come back and do it over and over? Nope, not going to happen. The goal is to get her to the point where she can function in a community. This is not functioning. I know it's hard to predict what's going to set our kids off, but I really think it's important to follow through once a request has been made, regardless of their reaction. [/QUOTE]
