[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 83276, member: 393"] Cheryl, Sorry to hear that husband is struggling with your limitations when you're alone with difficult child. The reality is most of our little wonders act out more around mum. husband's just don't get the same "antics", if you will. I'm glad that you're not going with the safe room at this point. husband & I have considered it more than you can imagine. It's a route we chose not to go because of the tweedles sensory issues. We learned that in the midst of a meltdown, our best move was to sit in a rocking chair & just rock. If kt or wm tolerated it, we will hum a calming tune - mostly just the rocking. kt centers herself on that motion when in a meltdown. Her meltdowns are shorter. I mention this because I see the diagnosis of Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) in your little guy's list of diagnosis's. It's something to consider. I can't imagine being in a world of sensations & not knowing how to process them. The stimulation of fluroscent lights, people walking & talking, etc, in a mall is a bit too much for me. Someone with Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) must truly be overshelmed. Try rocking, humming softly during your difficult children next meltdown. See if it makes a difference. If not your not out anything. Keeping fingers crossed that things are calmer today. [/QUOTE]
