[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 397147, member: 1169"] I agree with Marg. Giving them something new to do allows them to shift their focus from one thing to another. Also, if I can't break into the silliness/obsession, I give one command only 'look'. I say it without anger and as calmly as I can manage, then I wait until they make eye contact with me and I try and hold the eye contact and take deep breaths. Sometimes I have to ask them to 'look' more than once but once I can get them to do that and take a few breaths, then I give them the next simple thing to do. (I say 'look' or 'look at me' - too many words seem to not work as well as very simple commands). [/QUOTE]
