Guest guest Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 > Gee. Great mature response. ROTFLMAO! I taught him a slightly more mature response - I think - although it's not MUCH more mature... We finally got to the emotion he was feeling when he did it. Frustrated. Because no one was helping him pick them up. I told him that I understand that need to DO something when you're frustrated, and told him, " Next time, don't grab your hair. Next time, just stamp your foot really hard and say, " I AM SO FRUSTRATED. " And then ask someone to help. " So we practiced. First, he tapped his toes on the floor and said, " iamsofrustrated " . " No, " I said, " REALLY show it. " And so we practiced some more. Now, he is fully capable of stomping his foot and emoting: " I AM SO FRUSTRATED! " More mature? I have no frigging clue. LOL. But a lot less self-abusive and a little less a flashing neon " strange boy " sign. Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea...but the big dramas like that one generally happen out of the blue, as a knee-jerk reaction to a sudden event (like his photographs falling out of his notebook). <sigh> Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
