[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 341146, member: 805"] Sorry Shari, I had forgotten that wee had a para. It was a tad difficult for me to follow, but there are 2 paras a day (one am and one pm) and one of them is with him at all times? If that is the case, I don't really understand all the meltdowns. Don't the paras recognize the visual clues when difficult child is beginning to get aggitated/frustrated? They shoujld be removing him from the situation, a walk in the hall, etc., at the first sign. Are these paras trained to deal with the issues difficult child has? We had one 1:1 who was a joke.... You know, this is really tough Shari. As the mother of a child who used to have these kinds of meltdowns, I understand that sentiment of "Don't Let Him Get Ticked Off", but it's not really reality in a sitation where he's not the only kid around. A simple request could set him off if he's already anxious inside. Not ticking him off shouldn't be the goal as much as managing his frustration until he gets to a point where he can begin to recognize the physical signs within himself that his frustration is building. Once that happens, he can be taught coping mechanisms. This is where good therapy really comes in. Have there been any discussions about putting him on a modified day temporarily? There are a lot of benefits in this scenario. This was one of the first steps we made with difficult child. I'm sorry Shari, I know how difficult and stressful this can be. I didn't sleep well for a year and put on lots of pounds when I was dealing with the worst of difficult child's raging at school. The cellphone never left me and I even took it in the bathroom. I had to be ready to get up to school quickly. In the beginning, difficult child wouldn't calm until he saw me. It was scary, and frustrating, and I felt very isolated and embarrased. I'm going to keep wee on in my prayers, and you too. Sharon [/QUOTE]
