[QUOTE="Wonderful Family, post: 167418"] Weclome - I read some of the posts and they gave some good advice, and agree with everything that they said. The only other things I would add, especially if you are still looking for the docs and diagnosis, is to keep a running list of behaviors - for each kid if you have to. I do this now for difficult child to see when he starts to slip, mood charts often confuse me because he doesn't fit much of the BiPolar (BP) criteria - on paper. The other thing that works for us better than anything else is focusing on his reactions and not the behavior. It seems to be helping him identify where to actually start using all the stuff coping skills and therapy have taught him over the last 10 years. For safety, we started with allowing no touching at all between boys except in love. There were kept completely separate; and we would say why although it was not said in a confrontation way - always to keep things safe. We apply the same rules to both boys as much as we can. difficult child sees anything else as preferred treatment to easy child. [/QUOTE]
