[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 229013, member: 1631"] MB-Yeah the duct tape thing has crossed my mind! When you don't respond how does she react? Just curious, we've tried it with my difficult child-used to be he would get violent, now he just keeps following us and getting louder and louder and more disrespectful. Interesting thoughts from the adoption group. I also use the "that's o.k. I love you anyways response"-oh does that get him mad but I think he needs to hear it. MWM-We did take him to a Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) specialist at one point but not specifically an adoption one. It may be something to consider (if I could literally fit in another appointment-he's already seeing two therapists and easy child sees one). I have read the book-have had it a few years but haven't spoke with him about it yet. I think I'll bring it up with easy child first. difficult child is so much younger than his 11 years. Jennifer-I agree about picking battles. We do pick our battles but lately what is coming out of his mouth is horrible and much can't be ignored. I remember one time when difficult child was younger and upset and was going to run away-he couldn't believe we helped him pack his suitcase! Thanks for the support! Terry-Yeah 4 times a day is a pain. At least when school is in session one of the times is at school. My difficult child swallows all the pills at once so no problem there. I'm not really sure what this is all about because although for a long time getting him to take his medications was a pain, the past year or two had been smooth sailing! And, yes, you are so right about the rushing thing. It's way worse when we're in a hurry. We try to keep it as calm as possible but like you said, easier said than done:). I think after today (another rough one) I am finally ready to go back to work-just in time too! [/QUOTE]
