[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 656039, member: 11791"] Well... the parenting approach is going to be different depending on the cause. For example... An Aspie (Asperger's Syndrome) kid will be prone to meltdowns for a number of reasons, but frequently due to "overload" - sensory, auditory, or any other level. They "boil over". But some bi-polar traits can result in high irritability and melt downs. And there are probably other sources as well. So... what to try? I think the first thing I'd be looking at is the schedule. How many activities? How much consistency on a day to day basis? For example, breakfast always the same time (yes, 7 days a week), same for supper, same bath routine, same bedtime... and activities work around the schedule? or... schedule works around the activities? The latter can be a problem. I wish I had been told to keep a journal. It helps. Write down the good and the bad and the mundane of every single day, for weeks and weeks. Keep it going. Then, when a melt-down happens, look at yesterday. And look at the last time a melt-down happened, and the one before that... look for patterns. [/QUOTE]
