[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is where Unstuck and On Target can help. She is struggling with being flexible. She needs to learn to develop coping skills for when her Plan A (cleaning up when SHE is done) doesn’t work. It will help her to learn to identify her feelings. She needs to recognize feeling frustrated, and how tense it is on a scale from one to ten. When she has strong emotions that hit a four, she needs to recognize them and use a coping skill. You can help by giving her the language, saying that this is a time to be flexible and switch focus to something else.

I’d recommend a social skills group or an OT that works on regulation. Good luck. [/quote]

+1. Chiming in that you want to work on this at home as much as possible because this is also going to be happening at school and in social settings. You handled it really well. Even if it’s older DD’s train set, it’s not ok to put it away when younger DD is still enjoying it. When older DD is calmer are you asking what about this type of scenario is bothering her? [/quote]
