[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 474037, member: 11791"] Step... yes. My difficult child does it both ways. But... 100% consistent that after "over the top good" for a performance or whatever else... it is ALWAYS a meltdown. As a teen, its more subtle - but its still there. As a teen, though, I can call him on it - and he opts to leave and shut down, he knows he's had all he can handle. Even 5 years ago... he had no concept of where that line was. However... if I don't see a trigger that has history to it... it tends to be the fake stuff. And when I call him on those... I get a different reaction. That's why parents are the "experts" on their own kids... nobody else has the history! [/QUOTE]
