[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 337256, member: 1991"] Way to go! Well done, you're getting the hang of it. Wheels will still fall off now and then, but the more success you have, the faster you will all make progress. Don't forget to praise him for staying calm. That helps too. Also thank him for things like stopping that noise. Even if you wait until you're back in the car on the way home, praising him then is good. He wants to fit in, but he needs you to teach him how, and to teach him in the same way you might teach him a history lesson. Also don't sweat too much about fights between husband & difficult child, although you will soon have to take this on as needing attention. Try to get husband to lurk here and read posts. It has helped us a lot, it should help him too. If necessary, he can PM my husband (aka "Marg's Man") because I'm sure they will have a lot in common, both being ex-army and having a short fuse sometimes where the "problem child" is concerned. My husband lurks constantly, posts occasionally but reads everything I post. We often talk about it and it has really helped things so much for us. Got to go - thunderstorm approaching (for real) and we could lose power. Marg [/QUOTE]
