[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 389525, member: 1233"] The big problem with that is the difficult child has to [I]want[/I] to resist the impulses and calm himself. My son learned all sorts of tools to do this stuff but nothing helped until HE wanted to change. We can give them every tool in the world but we cannot make them use the tools. I would not waste time or money on something like hypnosis until you see some real signs that difficult child both wants to change and is willing to do the work involved to change. Use the money for massages or ways to help you and the rest of the family cope instead. Just in my humble opinion, of course. I tried hypnosis to lose weight a few years ago. I really WANTED to use the tools in addition to other things I was doing to help change my lifestyle. It was supposed to help deal with cravings. I saw a very well qualified, reputable hypnotherapist and the results were very unimpressive. I think hypnosis can be useful for things like dental visits (if you don't have so much anxiety that it gets in the way - my husband has had teeth pulled with-no medications for numbing and just hypnosis but they cannot even get started with me because I just freak out at the dentist. I need anxiety medications to take my kids in for cleanings - no joke.) and for managing anxiety etc... in those who are motivated to use it appropriately. Have you read Parenting with Love and Logic and Parenting Your Teen with Love and Logic? They are incredibly helpful with kids, even difficult children. You can learn more about Love and Logic at [URL="http://www.loveandlogic.com"]www.loveandlogic.com[/URL]. They have a variety of books and are very useful because they stress using natural, logical consequences while strengthening the loving bond between parent and child. It is the ONLY parenting advice that my husband ever got on board with and many parents I know have had excellent results. Even parents of difficult children. I wish I could be more positive about the hypnosis. It truly isn't something you can make someone use. The way hypnosis is shown on tv and in film is simply NOT the way it works. Unless you are highly motivated there is little that hypnosis can do. [/QUOTE]
