[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 300508, member: 1631"] Stella, Your welcome for the hugs! "Stop the World" is when their entire world stops until they comply. For example, if she didn't take the medications then she is unable to do anything until the medications are taken. We have to use our own version of "Stop the World" with difficult child and his violence. Anytime, that difficult child is in the least bit violent (even a shove or when he pretends to "accidentally" bump us). For him his world is literally stopped for the rest of that day. He gets no t.v., no electronics, no time for games or books with Mom and Dad. He can play cards by himself, do chores (if he wants), shoot buckets by himself. We were lucky that if he was violent a second time we were able to have him go to emergency respite (we only had to use this once or twice because difficult child hated emergency respite because he didn't get to do anything fun at the house he was going to). We no longer have emergency respite available so he gets a second "stop the world" the next day if he continues his violence. I have to be honest and say I didn't think this would work but it did for the most part. difficult child isn't completely violence free but it isn't very often anymore. Of course, my difficult child has been on medications through all of this so he did have more control. [/QUOTE]
