[QUOTE="lovelyboy, post: 597580, member: 8045"] I am not going to analize to much...just say what works sometimes for us when my son behaves like your daughter.... If he is so very upset I try to make less eye contact....not react on his behaviour.....Not react on things he says that tries to provoke me.....I sometimes will tell him that I can see he is very upset so I am disengaging for a while. I will give him some space. Ok....If this doesnt work, sometimes what works is to ask him if he wants to snuggle up and watch a movie with me....then I make sure the sound is not to loud, turn the lights low and give him a big warm blanket(this is part of sensory modulation).... Also make sure she isnt hungry...this is a big trigger in our house....make sure she is warm or cold enough.... Start talking in a monotone voice....no high pitches....Keep sentences short....Ask if she needs a hug or want no touching...and respect that. Sometimes with my son a dark bathroom with candles helps to calm him.... I will sit down and talk to him(while he is in the bath) and try and find out what happened in his day and work through feelings and misunderstandings.... Sometimes they also become like this when they are anxious about a change that needs to happen or something coming up..... My son has very mild Aspergers.....And this causes him alot of misinterpretation of his world causing anxiety leading to meltdowns.... [/QUOTE]
