[QUOTE="Jena, post: 218037, member: 4514"] hi, Well, when someone says something that makes me say "ah-ha" i'm going to let you know, i've officially been enlighted lol!!!! I used to teach special needs kids, and the approach you speak of, or the mindset regarding it is what i used when teaching. I often found it much more rewarding and interesting to find the right "approach" to teach them. You made that comment and I sat and said to myself "yes ofcourse". It's funny I can be insightful with other things, yet at times because I think I'm in the "box" I can't view it without the emotion and an "out of the box" approach I'm often not as insightful when it comes to my own difficult child. I agree, if behavioral mod was all they needed than let's chuck the medications, let's get rid of the pyshdoc's and just get ourselves really good therapists!!! Yet as we have been saying it truly is a combined approach. My family doesn't get it, they constantly question me and drive me nuts, although i have given them several books to read, the one by rosalie greene and the other by pappolos, some literature from NAMI. Yet instead of reading, they drive me insane. Their soo in denial right there with-my ex, which is fine as long as I"m alive and kicking to care for her. I'm trying to write this while sitting next to her, as she does hw. so forgive me if i'm all over the place. I'm trying this new approach of just sitting next to her while she does it and only if she's truly stumped do i get involved. I contacted her school today and set up a team mtg. with the pyschdoc at school, sw, her teacher and myself so that we can put things in place now just incase we wind up with a repeat of last year. She crashed hard last year. I'm still awaiting iep mtg. yet they were open to mtg. with me. This therapist that we now have has not outlined anything, other than to say what would you like to work on, than she popped it all onto a behavior chart. I think she's using the wrong approach here. No anxiety techniques have been taught yet, no talk of really letting difficult child know what's going on with her body and mind (she's truly wondering now). My mind is clouded today, i'm really tired and she is endlessly talking LOL!!! ah!!!!! Calgon take me away!!! [/QUOTE]
