[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 383371, member: 3930"] Hope, I know what you mean about assigning a number. I am a pretty black and white person and it is always hard for me to assign #'s to things. It either is or isn't - or it's better or worse than usual. SW, I gave the psychiatrist a list of his triggers. Those triggers will almost always result in either defiance and/or verbal/physical aggression. If we avoid those triggers and any disappointment or boredom in his day - most likely his day will be fine. I can note the # hours of sleep, night wakings, if his appetite changed, and physical symptoms (stomach ache, headache, etc.) - but the "mood" part of mood charting is hard for me. For one, because I am not in his head and don't know what he is feeling and two, because my perceptions may not be the case. If he is fighting or stealing, I can check that. If he has racing thoughts, how do I know? [/QUOTE]
