[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be honest, I have no experience with this, but I will throw some thoughts out there. Would your DD be better with a 1 on 1 conversation vs the grands + you all being in the room? I am not understanding your role in the calming down DD. Could she handle that on her own by removing herself from the room? And finally, can you or your spouse “see” the meltdown coming?  I am wondering if she is put on the SPOT ( too much pressure). Maybe conversations are too long in duration. I think the goal should be to set her up for success. If that is one sentence, so be it.[/quote]

I think I agree with this.

What is the context of this happening, OP?

Do you all live together?

Are the grandparents babysitting?  If babysitting I wouldn't let them babysit.

Throwing this out there, are your parents the type that if you explained what and how OT is working with your daughter they would better understamd. For example if they  knew that is progressive and you build upon things would that help? Because I think they might be thinking  that in their eyes she'll be allowed to fly off the handle forever and therefore struggle outside of the home,

Also, and this may be my projection,  but maybe just maybe you are overprotective of your DD because you feel guilty for her going undiagnosed for a long time, and you project that the grandparents don't like your youngest. Try not to set it as  them vs your daughter in your mind.[/quote]
