[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 210241, member: 3305"] I am curious...what have dr's/councelors suggested that you really think helps with Bipolar behavior in your children? One thing I learned from AA and Al Anon is to try and not speak in Extremes...to speak in terms of: possibly, could be, may be, might sometimes, etc. One of the things I think children/people with Bipolar do is to "think" in extremes. It's All or Nothing, ya know...I think they tend to see themselves and others in terms of Absolute good or bad too. What specifics have you been given to help in raising a child with Bipolar? How do you bring down the "temperture" of a rage? Do you speak softly? Do you just listen and not say anything? I tend to think that a rage is a bit similar to an unreasonable drunk...and it seems pretty useless to say anything to them at the time they are internally stuck in a rage or negative mindset. Anyway, what have you found or heard about that seems to make a difference? Tammy [/QUOTE]
