[QUOTE="givnmegryhr, post: 23893, member: 2113"] You've gotten some great advice. I will try harder myself to focus on myself and how I react. I know how hard it is. I am not a fan of supernanny, but I admit I do occassionally watch it. They recently had an episode with a child with ADHD on. One thing supernanny did , that I actually thought was a really good idea,she had a picture of the ADHD boy on a posterboard, then she told the mom to write everything around the picture about what she loved about her son. The nanny told her when she was frustrated with him to visit the picture. I haven't done it myself, but I do find if I look through pics of good times and of difficult child smiling , it does seem to help. As far as the hospital leaving you with no services. I would call the administrator . This happened to us. I know the therapist tried,but services are limited in our area. I was lucky enough to get in touch with one of the places she had been trying to reach and get some. You need to be a squeaky wheel, really push for the services. Its a real pain,but it is necessary. So I would definitely call then and make waves. For all of the money you spent , you and your difficult child deserve better. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
