[QUOTE="PlainJane, post: 598155, member: 11700"] Although no one has responded, here's what I did for the 68 people that lurked. After posting this I made a book (stapled paper together) about why I (we, our family) love difficult child. And I filled I don't know maybe 20 pages with all the reasons we love him. It was very theraputic for me, each page was a reason and I did a little drawing too. WHen difficult child got home from school I gave it to him, and there was no arguing! He loved it way more than I thought he would! He seriously read it like 5 times, outloud and said he loved it! So all his behavoirs aside, I am going to keep working on giving him encouragement. Don't get me wrong, 15 minutes later he was fighting, but it was still a great feeling seeing him so happy. So one day at a time I guess. I'm going to focus less on stopping or addressing behavoir and try not to get so upset about how they are effecting him socially. I know thats going to be a growing issue in years to come. But I will just focus on being positivie with him even when he;s negative with us. Easier said than done but I cant give up. [/QUOTE]
