[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 441144, member: 11847"] I've had to handel a very similar situation just to weekends ago. difficult child had a friend for a sleep over and after the second day, he was becoming very overwelmed by it. He started gearing bad attention toward his friend who was becoming increasingly annoyed. I suggested to difficult child to go to his cool down spot, to take a moment to relax and breath. Well, he is still learning the cool down spot technique so he still had a meltdown. But what the therapist told me is to keep teaching him to recognize when he gets in that mood and keep offering the cool down spot. It might be some to try with your son. And, as the mother, you can explain to the friends that difficult child will take a few minutes to himself and come back soon (I don't believe there is a need to explain in details). Just yesterday, he was able to use the cool down spot and avoid a meltdown. Give it a shot! And don't make that a punishment or time out. He goes and leaves to cool down spot as he wants. [/QUOTE]
