[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 439481, member: 84"] Welcome to the board. My grandson Alex does this, and yes it drives me literally over the edge. Not only does he never stop talking.....he's usually asking the same thing 50 plus times. His, I believe, stems from anxiety. I will answer once. I don't answer again, regardless. I don't raise my voice, I lower it and speak softly to him so he has to stop talking to hear me. Much of the time it works, unless his parents are around. They feel compelled to respond to everything that comes out of the child's mouth.....which only makes it worse. ugh This may be an aspect of his BiPolar (BP). And it may be hard for him to control. It also could be a reaction to one of his medications if this is a new behavior. Travis, who has Tourettes would tic as his stress level or anxiety level increased. Non verbal tics I could ignore for the most part. The verbal ones drove me insane. So instead of ME blowing my top over something he could not really control.....I'd send him to his room until the urge to tic stopped. Was not for punishment and he knew it. This helped me be more even tempered when dealing with the behavior. Although there were times when he'd be in his room mult times a day. It also seemed to help him learn to control the behavior to a certain degree. Because let's face it, it's hard to force yourself to relax from stress/anxiety if you have people nagging you to stop it or shut up already. Hugs [/QUOTE]
