[QUOTE="Janna, post: 235938, member: 2737"] Well, if nothing else, it's good that easy child is really trying. I'm with Jannie, make sure she gets plenty of praise, maybe even something small (a trip to the store, a little trinket, something) to thank her for her compliance. It's gotta be hard for her. I know my two have really gone through the wringer with D. It's hard enough for us parents - never mind a kid to deal with it. I have to wonder if the respite didn't hurt. I know it's important for you and it's needed, but, I know, too, that change with a difficult child is always rough. Transitions for Dylan are terrible. We've been offered respite, but I've always declined, because the rules here are the rules - and when you put a difficult child into another house with a whole different set of rules, it's just different - especially respite, it can be fun, then they come back. Eek. I can't even send D to his dad's anymore. If it's not the same structure with the same rules, he comes home and takes forever to get back on track. Everything goes whack. Also, I have to wonder if the in home woman setting up your new system isn't causing him anxiety. He is going to test, as would any child, difficult child or not. Heck, we put in a new point system here, and J tried to test me LOL! Didn't work, but it was a rough couple of days getting it implemented. I'm sorry your day was so bad. Hopefully with him getting back to school and back to routine things get easier. [/QUOTE]
