[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 168191, member: 393"] [B]All that can be said has been said. I hope your difficult child has more opportunities for birthday parties & other outings. Our babies crave friends & a social outlet. It's so hard to watch them try so hard. For the first few years after kt & wm were placed here I would have the kids in the neighborhood in our fenced yard & supervise all the antics. We had the obligatory swingset, sandbox & basketball hoop. I supplied kool aid, popcorn & cookies. I also supplied structure & would shut the play time down when I saw kt or wm beginning to lose it. I did it very diplomatically so no one was to blame except "mom is tired now" or "I have errands to run now - you all have to leave" type of excuse. The tweedles would come in & watch tv & begin to settle again. It really helped having a yard that we could have the kids come to & to be the parent "in charge" so to speak. [/B] [/QUOTE]
