[QUOTE="buddy, post: 485988, member: 12886"] Oh wow, that IS a good question. If I could answer that in a way that would fix the problem, then I probably would not be here. It is such a hard thing because for Q he has a brain injury that makes him not have the breaks we have to stop those kinds of things. Then when he realizes he is in trouble he gets more anxious and ends up doing it even more. So, really knowing that it WILL happen I have to be proactive and try to avoid the triggers, less stress, more appropriate choices, not box him in a fight or flight power struggle, etc. It is exhausting. I do make him write me letters at times, to show him how to apologize etc. But sounds like your son is all about the apologies (Q will say sorry, now can I have my tv?...ummmm nope). I make him do some kind of restitution. He has to gather the garbage and do it all himself. etc. When he aplogizes he needs to ask, how can I make it better?, then he needs to do what I say or he doesn't get to continue earning what he was trying to earn for the day. If he is stuck, like tonight I just have to ride out the storm. I have a headache. I have one for you too...sigh [/QUOTE]
