[quote=Anonymous]I bought a book "Unstuck and on Target" and went through it with my DC over the summer (instead of spending $$ enrolling in the Ivymount social skills program). We practice when DC is NOT anxious, e.g. Plan A/Plan B, deep breathing while counting 1 to 10, taking break. We also use "green, yellow, read zone" regulation state. And emotional coaching, validating DC feelings ("I know that you feel _, because _" or "You look like you are upset and in the yellow zone. Let's pause and think about what's the problem... What's Plan B if Plan A isn't working." Honestly, the hardest part is for me to stay regulated and emotionally coach DC before/during the meltdown.[/quote]
