[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 167105, member: 3419"] Hi, welcome. It is exhausting and you're the mom no matter what. That means you're usually the target. That's the hardest part! You can take breaks--maybe spend a cpl days at a hotel or friend's house ea mo. I know it helps my sanity when I can do that, as these kids are unrelenting and seem to have superhuman stamina. I'm glad the focalin is working so far. From your description that's a good thing! What sorts of things do you need help with-on a case-by-case basis? Like, when you say NO and she has a meltdown? (We've all been there done that!!!) If any kind of conflict is exciting, you have to learn to take the conflict out of conflict. So if she argues with-something, you stop talking and walk away. Then you follow through with-whatever consequence is natural. It's soooo easy to let them drag us into stuff. [/QUOTE]
