[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 157411, member: 3444"] in my opinion, I think it's better to have him do a few trials of these situations when it's not such a big deal if you have to leave or take him outside. It is a skill he eventually needs to learn, if not fake later on (does that make sense?). And I would certainly enlist the help of your husband to do this. We've done the tag-team approach with our difficult children before, with the agreement ahead of time as to whom is going to exit quietly with difficult child when the time comes so the other parent can stay and enjoy the event. Sometimes, if it's a particularly lengthy event, we'll switch off so the other parent can come back in and hear what's going on. Or might even have difficult child have another go at the situation after he's taken a break from it. I don't think forever avoiding situations is the answer. You kind of have to pick your battles, but also keep in mind you need to be training this child with whatever opportunities make sense and work for you/him. Just my 2 cents :) [/QUOTE]
