[QUOTE="totoro, post: 210735, member: 3155"] Jen I wasn't saying you were doing anything wrong. Or incorrectly, I was just telling you how our house works when K is unstable. Who knows how much worse one's child is when unstable, who knows how much more one can take or will tolorate? Know what I mean?? Some days I know I can push K harder, some I know I can't. As our first psychiatrist explained it and believes firmly, as do I, Bipolar is a spectrum. All of our children are at different levels and different extremes as far as functioning. Age, delays, medications all of these things come into play as well. I can only tell what I do and what helps with K and N. The things that work with K do not absolutely work with N. Hardly ever! But N has more Autism like symptoms than K. So all we can do is bounce ideas off of each other. Years ago I never though I would Not be giving time outs!!! But they are just not good for K. She takes time to focus, anywhere she wants. She takes time to re-group. She can do it with one of us or without. One of the big things for BiPolar (BP) kids is they have a huge fear that they will be abandoned. SO sometimes for some, shutting them in a room makes things worse. It does for K. Just thoughts... If it all worked we could all read one book and not need this place!!! LOL [/QUOTE]
