[QUOTE="compassion, post: 234810, member: 6393"] Welcome!!! My difficult child has similar rx and 15 abilify and 100 Lactimal mood stabilizer is helping a lot. I am really getting a lot out of the RAINBOW approach advocated by Mani Pavuluri in What Workd for Bipolar Kids: R is for strict rountine. I write this down and have difficult child sign it. It helps a lot. A is for affect (mood) regulation. I started the chart today with these colors: Blue sad, red, angry/explosive, brown crabby/irratablle, yellow+ happy, oragne+silly, green = fair/neutral, and purple+worried. I am trying to have difficult child be in touch with her moods but if she is not, I am colring them in. I have chart on firg. It is morning, afternoom and evening. I is for I can do it: saying positve self statment to build self esteem. N is for no negative thoughts. Reinforce focus on positve and constructive thoughts. Reinforce living in the now. B Be a good freind and live ablance lifestyle. Teach skills to make and keep friends. This fosters self worth and connectedness. O Optimal problem solving Engage in colloborative problem solving. Do nota ttmept during rage!!! PEP TALKS ARE THE KEY TO INFLUENCING BIPOLAR CHILDREN. W "Ways to Get Support" Have child drawe a support tree and write names of people they could reach out to and are close to them. This shows there are connections and support available to nurturte them when in need. I just knwo it takes a lto of pateince and keeping helpful and positive. Hang int here!!!! Compassion [/QUOTE]
