[QUOTE="nvts, post: 72558, member: 3814"] Hey BBK! Who hasn't felt like this? If it's any help, we have seen a major difference in difficult child 1 this year. He tried to bust our chops CONSTANTLY!!!! With the same stuff Tink is pulling. I think that the idea of Wrap around services is something to consider. I really like the differentiation between tantrums/manipulation vs. meltdown/out of control. One is acting like a brat and the other is mental stress for the "meltor" (as opposed to you being the "meltee"). Listen kiddo, I found that making him leave the main area and secluding himself worked wonders. I used to move everyone away from him, now I'M the "meanie" and tell him to leave until he's under control. It's always with a deadpan look and voice basically letting him know that this tantrum has about as much interest to me as knitting a sweater with my eyebrow hairs would. Don't worry - you're still a warrior - even Zena fell a few times! [img]:rofl:[/img] Beth [/QUOTE]
