[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 440465, member: 393"] [FONT=century gothic][FONT=comic sans ms][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]G'morning Shaylu. You certainly have your hands full with your difficult child. My tweedles had/have extreme anger issues mixed with bipolar & attachment issues. I was advised that we had to address the things that could be addressed with medications before therapy would make any impact (which made great sense to me). Once kt & wm were stabilized with their medications we addressed their rages, meltdowns, aggressions toward each other & myself. The thing that hit me was kt & wm needed to be taught different ways to "react" to situations once medications were on board. wm didn't know anything but rages...kt had 5 & 6 hour meltdowns. That's where therapy came into play.....teaching the tweedles different skills. It takes time & patience to teach a difficult child new skills of acceptance, redirection, to stop & think. Good luck & keep us updated. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
