It's better he be a little calmer and able to slow down his impulses since he can't seem to control them now, then end up in a group home which is exactly where he's going to end up, I don't care anymore, I will not be his victim any longer.  |
Pam,
I am so sorry that you have these trials and days/ I can so remember the stress and strains when my daughter day after day hour after hour with her battles acted out. She was a grown adult,
Is there a side effect to the medications, or is it behavioral?
I had a doctor tell me my life has been easier that my daughter is gone from the behavioral problems...Pam, I would so much rather her here and acting out....I think everytime she acted out I would start to hug her, give a emotional surrounding of unconditional I love you...Like a newborn when they swadle them, as opposed to when I use to lose it and get stressed so that I could not function.
Not that any of it would help...mostly I am saying I would want her even with bad bahaviour then this emptiness.
I don't know. but a thought, if it is a release that is causing the outburst, I don;t know Jackies age...But with my kids were little, I would mimic the activity. Maybe see what it fel to them when someone does it from the receiving end.
I know there is so limited control, but just a little might click?????
Any kind of reduction.
I would get down on the floor,stomp, throw a book, so it was a mirror to the kiddo.
WE recently had a parent in our program in front of the intake counselor state that her child was told if they wanted to get on the floor and through a fit not to see dad.
LOl, I told the program director, fine I would get down throw a fit too.
Sorry, rattleing from lack of sleep,
But my prayers are with you, I so dearly hope things calm down.
