[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 33044, member: 1835"] Oh, thanks, DDD...I keep waiting for this to get easier, but I guess that might not happen. Seems to me that, after five months in this highly structured environment, if he was going to actually "get it," he would have done so by now. I have noticed that he doesn't get as "hot" over the phone. At the beginning, when I was starting not to fall for his "stuff," he'd become angry and start to raise his voice and use profanity. As he realized that, every time he did this, the staff would reduce the amount and length of his phone calls home, he finally started keeping his voice down. Now, he's progressed to no raised voice or profanity but will simply say that he doesn't want to talk anymore. So, maybe he is getting it a bit. He is THE most stubborn kid on earth! But, the bottom line, as you said, is that what we were doing before didn't help, so it was time to make a change. Maybe this won't work either. I still hope and pray so, and I hope and pray the same for your difficult child/easy child and everyone elses here... [/QUOTE]
