[QUOTE="Mimibear, post: 576112, member: 15752"] My son is four years old and we don't have a diagnosis yet, and I am just getting started so I have limited advice to offer! However I can tell you the one thing that changed my life was when I made a choice to stop reacting dramatically to my little guy's tantrums and outbreaks. I realized that to a large degree, he too.is a victim of his own lack of coping skills. When I yelled and threatened and even spanked (not proud) it made a bad situation so much worse. The calmer you stay, the less your daughter has to feed off of during an intense moment. Now, I limit my words to "let's go in your room to calm down" and in he goes, and he can only come out when he has regained his composure. This nee calm way of parenting has helped improve the peace in our home. It's far from perfect and I still lose it sometimes, but it helps a lot if you can stay calm! Good luck, sounds like you are on the right track for getting your child all the resources you need. :) [/QUOTE]
