[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 172764, member: 1233"] We also had the problem with any praise resulting in difficult child undoing whatever it was we praised him about. We had to really work to get him to the point where people can say good things about him with-o having him fall apart into horrible behaviors the next day (or next hour!). Part of the problem was difficult child felt he couldn't continue to live up to whatever standard the praise set. Praise set up pressure in his mind to continue the good behavior. He didn't think he could, so he turned it into a negative ASAP. We were blessed to have a good therapist here, and then a good therapist at the psychiatric hospital to help all of us with this. It really is a good strategy with pcs, but difficult children don't work like pcs. [/QUOTE]
