hev Report post Posted June 30, 2005 (edited) i often post on here when im finding it hard to deal with steve so tonight i thought i would post to say we have had 2 really good days,he had a bad tantrum yesterday when i asked him to tidy his room but i calmly went into the kitchen and said i wasent going to speak to him till he stopped swearing,as you know i normally shout back and it gets me nowhere. i couldnt believe it as he went all quiet and five mins later went up and tidied his room!!i was so shocked,today i told him how nice hes being lately and he told me all about his day at tuition and we had a lovely conversation,he never normally talks nice to me,im not saying every day will be good but i feel like im getting more understanding and trying to think before i react,i feel very positive,i hope i can keep it up though!!

CarerQuie Report post Posted June 30, 2005 It sounds as if your change in strategy (ie. ignoring the swearing) has reaped dividends. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
