[QUOTE="LovingAbbey, post: 41236, member: 1369"] Before you read this know that what I tried to do with difficult child became way more elaborate in explaining it to her than I had ever intended... I have started opening up the possiblity to difficult child that she may not be hearing things the right way. We talked about how she gets into arguements alot with many different people, family, friends, teachers, etc. I talked with her about how if someones eyes do not see quite right they were glasses. Then I talked with her about her third eye, the eye that help you understand what someone means when they are talking to you, and then it tells the voice in your head. But some times that third eye does not see quite right but they don't make glasses for a third eye. Sometimes you need to help your third eye focus so that you understand what other people are trying to say. At any rate, what I was trying to do was to help her see there are parts of her that may not be interpreting peoples words correctly but she can help to fix it by asking what people mean. I was trying to do this in a way that does not blame her but empowers her. She was so intrigued by the idea of the whole third eye that she has actually been saying "wait I think my third eye might be out of focus", and she make a gesture of focusing her third eye, "do you mean .....?" And then I can say no what I meant was..... I'm sure there is some better way to get this point across than how I did it. Honestly I was starting to get confused after a while. But the idea was to help her identify, through past experience that she might be interpreting things wrong, without making it her fault, and giving her a way to actively participate in making things better. Does this make any sense? [/QUOTE]
