[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 386552"] I'm still working on the mom time out thing, kiddo didn't get her temper or lack of patience out of the blue, that's for sure. But being able to look at it as something she truly can't help fully (I won't deny she uses it to manipulate sometimes, but I'm getting better at telling when she is really beyond coherent thought) helps me pull back a bit and give her the space/time she needs to get her brain back in the proper gear, and I've been learning a lot here about which battles are really worth a meltdown and which ones I should let be handled by "natural consequences". My main worry there is that she won't handle those too well at school when its the effect of her refusing to do homework, but I'll cross that when we get there (again). I read a lot more here than I reply to, and sometimes I just don't know what to say. [/QUOTE]
