[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 557252, member: 3419"] Hi, Pinkmum. I hear you! I remember those days all too well. I agree, that school days are more regimented and that homelife must be, as well. However, no matter how regimented it is, your son knows that's the place where he can let his hair down and he has used up most of his calm behaviors at school and by the time he gets back with-you ea day, he's just had it. One thing that worked well with-me was to have other people around. For whatever reason, my difficult child would really lash out at me when we were alone, but if the rest of the family was home, it took the edge off. Also, he spent way too much time on the computer, stimming, and it was soooo hard to get him to go outside, but it had to be done. I usually had to take something away from him to get him to go for a walk, for example. "You can have your computer back after the walk." Then he'd view the walk as a means to an end. But at least it got him going. Also we changed our son's diet. We're still battling that but it is worth the battle. You've gotten some GREAT ideas and advice here ... not much else I can do but send cyber hugs. [/QUOTE]
