[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 635753, member: 13260"] I totally get what you're saying. But what we've seen is the longer attention span allows more time to learn the tools for self-regulation: that little bit of time to explain something, that moment in time when he uses those tools he's gained to have a situation turn out better than it usually does. It builds confidence in the child's feelings of self-mastery. At least that's what we've seen, but it has taken a while. But it feels good for us and the kiddos when we can catch that moment when they didn't revert to a problematic behavior and you can point it out and talk about how proud we all are, and then try to have them access how they feel. Such a journey! [/QUOTE]
