[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 574792, member: 15799"] Ktllc, first HE needs to recognize when he's getting upset. You can talk about it ahead of time so he has a clue what you're talking about but until you catch him in the moment and talk about how his body feels and what he's thinking at that EXACT moment (before it gets too bad), it is going to be too abstract for him. You're doing fine. Recognizing the body signs is the first thing you have to try to teach him. You can do some pre-work like talking about how YOU know when you're getting upset and explaining that to him so he knows it's not just him. That's where we started and we put labels to the feeling that go along with a particular set of "symptoms" that difficult child 1 feels. He needed to learn to recognize the physical/mental signs that go with his different feelings before we could work on what to do when he felt/thought those things. Do I even make any sense? [/QUOTE]
