[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 408450, member: 3419"] 4Timmy, sounds like a plan! I am going to have to watch the Dog Whisperer. :) I agree with-you and others, that we have to teach our kids one skill at a time. My son still melts down when he has too big of a task. But since he is 14 and on medications, he can usually say the words b4 it gets to an explosion. Yesterday I helped him with-2 big Spanish projects that were due wks ago. If I had known about them, I would have worked with-him a day at a time. But I had to be very careful not to overwhelm him. During the first project, he said, "This project was much more successful than others you've worked on with-me." Woo hoo! But by the 2nd project, it was getting tedious, and he said, "This is driving me crazy. I'm going to get mad and blow up." So I printed out what we had and just put it aside for one day. Hey, it's already late ... I didn't realize that the sensory integration stuff was tied into picking up on others' emotions. Wow. I guess I have to hold my breath and really be a dog whisperer. Mostly, my technique is to literally walk away or leave the house to calm down. I hate, hate, hate the lack of motivation that comes with-these kids. I'm thinking that a part of their brain, or a connection, is literally missing. I wish there were a magic pill ... [/QUOTE]
