[QUOTE="nvts, post: 108381, member: 3814"] ILMS: Here's a spin - My kids (primarily difficult child 1) spiral downward in Dec. because of the anxiety over Christmas. Accept yellow for what it is. Try praising the things he did right rather than focusing on what he did wrong (sort of a la let school stay in school). Lower the anxiety, lower the outbursts. When he leaves for school, say "have fun" rather than "have a good day" (see where I'm going with that?). Ask the teacher if she can do the color chart for half of the day (a re-start if you will by mid-point). He's only 5. The day that the little girl came and told you he's been bad he'd made it to 11:30 on yellow. If a "re-start" went into effect at 12:00, it would give him an opportunity to wipe the slate clean. Again, lowering the anxiety. Just a few thoughts to get you through the grind! Beth [/QUOTE]
