[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 202542, member: 1991"] Well done! You handled it well; and so did he. The school, too. So the outcome of this is much more than one meltdown prevented. What has also happened through this, is difficult child discovering that there are other ways (more effective ways, less traumatic ways) to resolve a problem. And also, that YOU are there trying to help this happen. So the more this happens (you helping him avert a meltdown and find a more productive way of resolving a problem) the more he realises that you are the person who can help him, can also try to keep him calm and can be trusted and relied on. And the more this happens, the more he learns to ask for help in managing his own stress, and the more he finds his own ways of coping, much more effectively. A few more successes like this (especially with few or no meltdowns) and this positive process snowballs. You're off and running! Marg [/QUOTE]
