[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 137022"] :2sad: Sorry it was rough. I know with my difficult child if I was to follow him when he was like that, it would only make things worse. When he gets like that, I say what I am going to say, then I stand back until I see that he is starts to calm down and then TRY to redirect him. Doesn't always work, but at least it doesn't make it worse. As far as medicine, I know from following your posts that you are trying to get your son off of them and don't want him on any. I used to be against medications for children - until I was around one who benefited from them. Just like with my diabetes, the goal is to someday be without them, but for now I HAVE to be on them - its a matter of my life. I feel that is the same thing with our difficult child's, being on medications or not means their lives, not necessary (but in some cases maybe) loss of physical life, but their quality of life and being able to function. I wish you the best and I really hope you get some help/answers for your precious difficult child. Christy [/QUOTE]
