[QUOTE="jannie, post: 56034, member: 2074"] I am sorry for what you are going through. I have been there and I really understanding how emotionally draining and frustrating this can be [img]:crying:[/img]....Sending hugs... [img]:angel:[/img] I felt the need to constantly watch everything my difficult child was doing. For example at the pool, the other moms were able to sit back on the low chairs a few feet pushed back from the edge...or others could even sit in the shade and watch there child a 10 feel away !!! [img]:grrr:[/img] not me....on occasion I could sit on the edge of the pool with my feet hanging, but most of the times I was in the water with him helping him to "facilitate" the play or just keep him away from others. Unfortunately I think you do need to monitor him more closely. I did avoid crowded places...I did not go to the local pool...I took him to the less crowded pool a few towns over so that in case he had a meltdown it wasn't always in front of the same people... At times I spoke with some of the neighborhood kids explaining that my difficult child gets frustrated easily and Please Please help us out by now doing things that they know will anger him...I asked them to avoid very competitive games... Seb is not intentionally getting angry at the kids, but he is hitting them in anger when he is not having self-control. I'm constantly telling by kids it's not an accident when you hurt someone when you were angry...you hurt them because something made you angry and you took your anger out on this child. Have you worked with him on anger management strategies? We practiced breathing exercises...we used stress balls... We also explored with medication. Medication has really helped and since he started medication 2 1/2 years ago we have never skipped or forgotten one dosage (except one time). We've never even talked about stopping them.... Sending hugs [/QUOTE]
