[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t actually need to respond to every comment like this. You can just listen and let him get it out. [/quote] This. It's definitely not helpful to respond to emotion with reason, although with one of my kids, I used to ask occasionally, "What do you think I want to day right now but am suppressing because Dr X says I'm not allowed to?" He always knew, and I would generally get a laugh. Sometimes we'd agree to sit around and mope for a few minutes, then move on. [/quote]
