[QUOTE="aeroeng, post: 390199, member: 6557"] My difficult child does not like a lot of talking. He would take over positive statements as being sarcastic and get all worked up over it. Instead we would try using attention as the reward. Sometimes it is as simple as a smile and a nod, or standing there and handing him what ever he needs. When he pushed the buttons and negative feed back was required I worked hard to keep as much emotion out of the statement as possible. Using a monotone voice without inflection, and making sure the statement is as strait forward as possible. (Walking away and going outside when my emotions are about to blow). husband was better at it then I was, and would take over and let me escape. [/QUOTE]
