[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 76673, member: 393"] totoro, What helps difficult child self calm? If you see her engine running on high - what self calming activity can you redirect her to? For kt, it's a warm shower or maybe coloring. That doesn't mean the chore or whatever will not be done, I just give kt time to transition & calm the entire situation. The other reason I choose this route is that it isn't good or healthy for my difficult child or the entire family to be stuck in a rage/meltdown for that period of time. It's far too devastating for the entire household. When kt (or wm, when he was here) was this unstable, the only issue I was willing to go to meltdown over were medications & safety issues. The rest can & is worked out until kt (wm at group home) is stable on their medications. Keeping fingers crossed for a positive, meltdown free Monday ahead for you & yours. [/QUOTE]
