[QUOTE="Nancy423, post: 220555, member: 6118"] hmmmm, sounds like my difficult child. She's about a 3rd grade level in acedemics, and who knows how young emotionally. She used to follow me screaming, kicking and hitting when I'd walk away. When she was much younger, we would always remind her to hug, not hit. Her social workers in school have been fabulous at teaching her some coping skills over the last 4 years. #1 is to go to a quiet place to regain her composure. She's been doing great with it and we've got it written in her IEP. A behavioral therapist would be another option, play therapist too. Maybe instead of saying "no", you alter your response. Is she real picky about her meal options at that point? Are you able to offer her some options, or does she have something specific she wants? Maybe offer healthy snacks when she's ready for a late meal (raw veggies, an apple) or, since you were watching a movie, make some popcorn! good luck to you - remember it may look like a long road ahead but keep going!
