[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 130133, member: 393"] [B]Marg, One of the very first things we did when kt got home from Residential Treatment Center (RTC) was to have her sit down & write out her top 3 self calming skills learned & work best for her while in Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Shower, snuggle with mom & draw. Every week or so we update her list of self calming skills - what worked last week isn't going to necessarily this week. The list is printed out in colors of her choice - heck she makes it out herself now; we put it in a clear plastic sheet protector & hang it in the kitchen, in the bathroom & one copy in her bedroom. I have a copy at my desk as does husband. kt puts a lot of thought; a lot of practice into self calming. She wants to be "normal". kt needs very little cuing on this anymore though there are times nothing is working & I pull out old copies with a suggestion or 2 that helps. The top is a shower & always will be. Good luck in your endeavor. I hope difficult child finds ways to de-stress. [/B] [/QUOTE]
