[QUOTE="Shari, post: 419389, member: 1848"] By pure d luck of the draw, the counselor we "got" is a lady with a BiPolar (BP) child. And she asked a male colleague to sit in, also, who has an autistic son...when husband brought up how Wee does not listen to you, the man said what he has found that works for him and his son is modeling behavior...you say it, then you get in and do it, with the expectation that the child follows suit and then you eventually wean yourself out of it (this is what IHBT has had us do with Wee for years, and I'm seeing some real payback with it now - all winter, bar a day here or there, he picked up anything he got out in the living room without even being asked...just when he got done, he picked up!) So these 2 people also "get" what life with a difficult child is like. Lady counselor asked man counselor what happens if someone tries to use a gruff or authoritarian approach with his son. He said you'll get a reaction, but it sure isn't one you want. [/QUOTE]
