Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 Hi , I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but I must say that your husband's reactions to 's behavior disturbs me. Have you considered counselling of any type, to perhaps give Dave a greater insight to what is actually dealing with...to get inside his little head, if you will. Do you have a Regional Center near you? They are helping us with Nick...a nutrition therapist and behavior therapist have come into our home to advise us as to how to handle Nick's behavior (hitting, screaming) and to give us ideas about how to enhance his limited diet to ultimately getting rid of his constant constipation. I really hope your husband can get to the point where he can visualize living through each day's daily stresses and bombardments as does where everything is to the nth degree. He can then better understand 's "meltdowns" and realize that reacting with rage only compounds the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 20, 2001 Report Share Posted September 20, 2001 I am really late responding to this, but yes, I've tried to tell Dave to calm down with . When Dave gets mad it only makes matters worse. Dave has been better the past week or so - he seems to go in spurts. Sometimes he is patient, sometimes not. And gets more scared and upset when Daddy isn't patient with him. Toothbrushing is a nightmare! Mommy to (8/20/97)http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Bluffs/2654/Keep smiling! People will wonder what you're up to! Re: Hitting Hi , I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but I must say that your husband's reactions to 's behavior disturbs me.
