[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 397290, member: 2322"] Wrote a reply and then it got lost. Seems like par for the course this vacation. Anyway, thanks for the laugh Marg. I really really needed it. And the reminder to always debrief without blame. I hardly ever debrief, usually too traumatized. But i realize I need to do it. And acquire the skill of doing it. Also thanks for the suggestions on how to deescalate. Not sure about the bathtub one (maybe the toilet bowl?!) but I love the suggestions for getting their attention. I need to find some way of separating the two boys positively. Not sure about that, but am sure that as you all say telling them to stop doesn't help. We will see about the medications, hopefully it is taking just a little time to get out of the system. Only found out a few days ago that difficult child 2 had gone out on the roof (in winter snow), tried to lasso a tree (pine tree, weak branches) and swing down off the roof. And the psychiatrist doesn't think that the medications are lading to greater impulisivity? medication by the way is Zoloft, which isn't too bad stopping I think. I have found that most psychiatrists don't like to acknowledge paradoxical reactions. oh well. Impulse control is such a hard one to teach. difficult child 2 complains that his principal tells him he needs to think before he acts. He says, duh Mom doesn't he realize that I know that already? So how to teach it. Can try social engeneering to keep him out of harm's way, but that gets more difficult as he gets older and his peers are doing things he is not. I need a vacation. Have had my 92 year old mom here for Christmas, wheelchair and all. Is nice, but I would so like to escape. I'll keep you informed of my progress on plan B. Anyway gone to a Ross Greene seminar? Did you get more out it than reading the books? Thanks so much for being there. [/QUOTE]
