[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 532259, member: 11847"] Another little input: what helps me stay calm is to have a line I can repeat over and over when V is having a meltdown. I usually say "you can't do/have x,y or z, but you will be fine". After answering his "why's" once, I just stick to my line. This way I am not ignoring him by being mute, but I don't have to get tangled in explanations (that he would refute anyway). If V ends up saying this little phrase himself, I give him a sticker and this is the end of the episode usually (can last up to 1 hour though, not quick and easy). [/QUOTE]
