Since ds started on his meds he has become much more responsive and calm so it's occurred to me that we might give 123 another try.
When we did it before, 3 years ago, we found it too difficult to keep ds safe as he would meltdown but now maybe it is worth another try.
Recently we have been holding him securely for a minute each time he has hurt anyone. There is no talking, no eye contact, and we just count quietly to 60 then let him go. On occasion we have had to do a lot in succession, but it has dramatically reduced the number of times he hurts.
Also, dd (almost 10, nt) is being really challenging, lots of whinging, moaning and the usual pre teen stuff so maybe it could work well with her now?
Anybody got any experience of how this works for sn dc?
