[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 182115, member: 3444"] It is SO hard when they escalate so rapidly (almost typed rabidly, and I'm sure it felt similar)! I think you are right in following through and I really don't know if you could have handled it differently. If he didn't like the idea of asking the librarian, would asking for his input have helped (sort of the CPS approach)? Or was he already on a slippery slope by then? I'm learning to recognize when my difficult child 2 is in a spiral and to back off before I end up igniting him into an explosion, but then I'm not facing physical violence like you have been -- that's another reason I think you really have to follow-through on the plan you have in place. Have you had to Stop The World very often with him yet? I imagine it will take several exercises in this before he "gets" it. I wish it weren't so hard for you, too. Hope you can get some rest tonight and that tomorrow is a new day of possibilities for everyone. [/QUOTE]
