[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 79739, member: 393"] Terry, Most days this works - Residential Treatment Center (RTC) started this while kt was there in placement; they noticed that kt generally melted down during the big transition from school back to Residential Treatment Center (RTC). So they set up a safe place & a general time of day that she could really let it out. Here at home, kt has a meltdown 4 out of 7 days a week. That's down from every day, several times a day. In the meantime, staff (husband & I here) worked with kt - on her anxieties & fears that generally set her off. Mostly we redirect or keep her hands & mind busy. And remind her that 13 y/o who have "tantrums" have no business with a cell phone or computer in her room, etc, etc, etc.... Again, this works sporadically. And I'm beginning to recognize that monthly "hormonal monster" that contributes to this. Hey - give it a shot. Can't hurt. [/QUOTE]
