[QUOTE="daralex, post: 267185, member: 4467"] All I can tell you is that we actually had it written into difficult child's IEP that when she gets upset like that she is allowed to call me (and she's a teenager!). It maybe takes me 5 minutes on the phone with her ro calm her down and then she is fine and can go about her day. Sometimes difficult child's just need us to be there, a hug, a kind word, reassurance. It's what we do best. Para obvioulsy has some issue of her own (Is her last name Ratchet by any chance?!) I think when difficult child's reach out for that help from us we should be there as much as we are able to be - they feel alone in the world enough as it is. Sometimes we really are the only ones who understand. -Dara [/QUOTE]
