[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 9992, member: 1697"] Kathie- I saw you did read my post about stress, anxiety, panic etc..... and you replied to it. :) (thank you :) ) I just wanted to say- for your 8 yo? You can read those to him (her?) but....at 8 it might not make much sense.....(I suppose it depends on your 8 yr old) and DURING a rage or meltdown or anxiety attack, you very likely might not "reach" thru the anxiety level to try to work on relaxation to teach it at that time, or reach thru to even explain the hows and whys of deep breathing etc. What was done with my dtr from very early on was to simply teach the concept at a chosen time...NOT during a problem time? Maybe explain at that time it is something that can maybe help feel betetr just in general. Maybe you can integrate some little cue, one word or one specific touch, or a sound? (sometimes during panic, a touch might make a panic attack or rage worse due to hypersensitivity) But at first just practice and link the word or whatever while you teach HOW to deep breathe or relax. and then practice it during smaller stress times, first. It can take practice before it works, and trying to use it once a rage or meltdown has begun migt not work at first.....it is a skill that can take practice to master. Truth is during major anxiety, rage, panic, etc.....very often peson cannot be reached once the wheels are already set in motion.....and words etc can escalate things, even if you ARE trying to get them to calm down. and things get going with a momentum all their own by then. Optimally eventually it can be mastered to a level that it PREVENTS an attack, rage, meltdown etc. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
