[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 225747, member: 1233"] I think you have gotten great input here. The one strongest point to make to your pcs is that you ARE the mom, and if things have changed since they were kids, well then things have changed. Period. I doubt there is much you can do about them together tomorrow, other than maybe allow unlimited whatever calms your difficult child most (game time, computer, whatever). And make sure that you keep calm whatever happens. Terry's ideas about errands are wonderful. The best sp ed teacher we had used the phrase "Roll With It" and it carried over to home. Any changes? Roll With It. It became a signal that whatever was really important to difficult child was still going to happen, it just might happen differently. And it sometimes signalled a surprise, like a quick frosty or ice cream cone or whatever. But it took time, and it worked. [/QUOTE]
