[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 167753, member: 3626"] I think a lot depends on the diagnosis and age. A child with asperger's is not going to get that sitting makes you defenseless. A child under 7 or one who is truly raging and has no control is not going to care about your position. However, an angry child that is hitting will probably stop when old enough to have at least the true beginning stages of empathy, unless there is a mental illness that prohibits that empathy. So, a Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) child will hit regardless. So will a child on the autistic spectrum (unless very, very high functioning). A BiPolar (BP) child who is still not regulated will have out-of-control rages and not be able to stop regardless of the victim's position. So, it may work for some children, even some with some emotional and behavorial problems, I doubt it will work for most of ours. The reality is that our kids are the extremes -- even for most problem children. The parents of kids with mild problems leave here pretty quickly -- they've found some solutions or the descriptions of our kids scare them away pretty quickly. [/QUOTE]
