[quote=Anonymous]In my son the need for control was a manifestation of his anxiety. I think he felt out-of-control in general and would therefore try to exert control on things that, to me, were so unimportant and illogical. Our approach to this sort of thing was constantly prepping him about what was going to happen, without overly asserting my control over him (more like first we are going to do this, then we are going to do this). We basically prepped him for years about EVERYTHING and it was shockingly effective. Of course, one can't prepare for the unexpected and these situations continued to be problematic until we were able to lower his overall anxiety which is a harder, much slower, process, but worth the time and effort in therapy.[/quote]
