[QUOTE="ShakespeareMamaX, post: 57219, member: 3861"] I like the idea of the monotones. I find myself, automatically, doing this and it really does help! It's amazing how, sometimes, the lower you talk, the more attention you get. I agree, Marg, about some of the younger staff being under trained. I wrote something in a past post about how upsetting it is to me, that camps/daycares don't do enough to get the proper help. I'm pretty sure the staff member my son kicked was the same one laughing at him while my difficult child was running into the girls' bathroom. I was easy on my son when I heard what he did, to who and why, but I still explained that hitting is never the answer...unless you're cornered and being attacked. :p His day was a bit better today with the exception of him running away from the staff into the parking lot. I had given him a goal to do one more good deed a day and have one less problem (instances are counted in his journal), and, today, it really showed! And though, he got one more negative count than yesterday, he got TWO more positive counts! It was so relieving, considering what happened with the doctor. Or...what DIDN'T happen. I called the office and, to make a long story short, the therapist available at the moment got on the phone and said they could do nothing for me, I have to wait until my son's regular psychiatrist is in (Tuesday) to make an appointment, and I should keep my son "contained" and not let him do things where he hurts himself. If it gets too bad for me, I should go to my nearest emergency room. Bah... I think I may invest in searching for a new psychiatrist. I should have taken a clue when, after my son was prescribed a new medication, we were rescheduled from the 5th of July to come back in August when my son's medications had long run out and nobody had monitered my difficult child's behavior for nearly 3 months, because the doctor wanted to go on vaca. Fortunately, my son and I got a great psychologist out of this office. Wish us luck for the weekend! And >skwishes< to you all! <3 [/QUOTE]
