[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 23891, member: 1436"] There is a really good book about Boundaries. I can't remember the author, but it helps. The way that I have dealt with difficult child in the past is to realize that I have no control over what he says or does, only over my reaction to those things. When he was stable, there were consequences. When he was not, well...I worked to get him stable. Understanding that you can only control yourself really helps when dealing with difficult children or anyone else. What they say is what they say. Doesn't make it true. It doesn't mean that they mean it. It's sometimes the only way they can deal with the frustration or overstimulation that they are feeling. Learn to look for triggers and avoid them. Learn to re-direct when you see behavior escalating. Learn to walk away. When he yells, get you #### over here, walk the other way. [/QUOTE]
