[QUOTE="Jena, post: 236936, member: 4514"] Hi and welcome :) It can be so challenging at times, you feel as though there's nothing left inside to give. it's also not a great feeling like you said when you don't know if you can stand being in the same room as them for any portion of time or drama errupts. They, at least my difficult child craves "negative" attention and when she's in a mood will go to any extent to get that from me. Another huge one is don't engage. State why you say no to something and don't engage. I'm slowly learning, say no and why so they have an explanation. I feel they need it at times. Than when they begin to carry on, be nasty, yell, throw fit have a consequence in place for that behavior and just carry it thru whatever it is with one warning to calm down and listen. If they don't calm than consequence. It's so hard because i always wanna engage for some reason, lol. Yet learning this has helped me even with my easy child (perfect child) we call it the other children of our families with whom do not struggle with mental illness. Not engaging i'm slowly realizing really does de escalate in time once they truly understand you mean what you say and say what you mean. ok, i've rambled it's late welcome again!! :) there are alot of awesome ppl here with whom with-o them i have no clue where i'd be right now [/QUOTE]
