[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 176446, member: 3419"] Very frustrating. Does he roll around on the floor only when you are there, or will he do it for hrs in his own rm when no one is looking? [I]My eye twitched My hair blew in the wind My husband turned left.... That is a cop out not a plan of action[/I] I totally understand and agree with-this. That's one of the issues I had with-The Explosive Child and some other books. But I eventually learned that it was my reaction that was just as important as my son's. For ex., I quickly learned that if my difficult child choked on food, he'd better darn well be turning blue or I was going to ignore it. That attitude made a huge diff because he stopped doing it almost immediately. I pared down our activities, since he is horrid at transitions, and focused on what needed to be done (school, grocery shoppiing, etc.) and did desentization, no matter how much he battled me, and eventually he learned to cope. Doesn't your psychiatric give you any practical ideas? What's going on with-the potty training? I'm assuming you mean during the daytime so he can go to preschool. I know what you mean about tokens and not caring. It worked for a short time for our difficult child merely because it was a novelty and it gave him attention. Since he was sooooo into immediate gratification, he soon gave up on it. The fact that he CAN do it at school (daycare?) implies to me that there may be a psychological component, a control issue at home. Have you talked to the psychiatric about that? {{hugs}} [/QUOTE]
