[QUOTE="Andy, post: 196260, member: 5096"] My difficult child's therapist told him that to stay healthy he needs to focus on: 1. Getting enough sleep 10 - 11 hours per night 2. Getting enough exercise - I think it is hard for kids to find ways to exercise - does your difficult child have any way to burn off energy at the end of the day? A pet dog to run with? A sport? 3. Getting a balance diet - eat healthy (we have cut caffene, chips, candy, cookies to a very bare minimum - hardly ever have) Push fruits and veggies 4. Reducing stress by imagery breathing - focus on one favorite event - remember how it felt, tasted, sounded, looked like, sounded. 5. Calming breathes - Deep breath in, slow breaths out Maybe focusing more on some of these may help? Let your difficult child know that in order to help him, he MUST take on some of the responsility of following through with suggestions. This will be slow but if HE focuses and does the work, I think he will see results within a week? Life would be so much easier if our kids would only agree to listen to their moms. [/QUOTE]
