[QUOTE="nlg319, post: 59006, member: 3637"] Sorry I'm coming into this thread a little late...I just wanted to say that I have been at the end of my rope so many times, I can totally relate. The only suggestion I can give, and this is really hard to do when you're ready to flip, but just try it. I completely just shut down. I mean I just stop engaging back and forth. I almost become robotic. I use this with my 5 yr. old. When he is screaming, "Why can't I have ice cream for dinner?" My response is, "What did I say? I said, No." My voice is calm and quiet. After hearing that a few times and knowing that is going to be my reply over and over, he eventually gets the picture. He still doesn't like it, but he stops asking because he knows I'm going to say, "What did I say?". I just wanted to share my ideas. Good Luck... [/QUOTE]
