[QUOTE="totoro, post: 243410, member: 3155"] I would start with trying to talk with him today about what was wrong this morning. Why was he upset about the socks? Like was said before, maybe it is something bigger, maybe it is sensory, anxiety, too much overload in the am. Sometimes kids feel overwhelmed. For us, N needs to have things go very slow. One step at a time. She picks out her clothes. For K, heck if she doesn't want to she doesn't need to, because it will stop a huge blowup and a bad day at school. She may also realize it is better to wear socks next time. You can also slip the socks into his backpack, then he may realize he needs them, they are in there. Or tell him you put them in there just in case. A compromise. Like Dazed said, things change. K doesn't want to die right now, but she has other issues. Some better some worse. SHe is less violent, we have learned and are learning what her triggers are, how to talk to her. It is a give and take with her. We have learned to ID her anxiety, if it is getting bad, then I know not to push her. Last night she was getting worked up and amped. So we did not push her. THis morning she was very depressed, so we had to help her brush her teeth, and get dresses. Do I like it, NO, but my kid is messed up at times. I am working on trying to teach her how to ask for help and how to figure out that she is getting out of control and that we are just trying to help her. We call it her engine, is her engine too high, too low or just right? Read the book, it really gives you some insight and good ideas. Doesn't work for all, but it does help. [/QUOTE]
