[quote=Anonymous]18:40 I feel for you and can completely relate. My daughter to gets really upset and has a hard time calming down. She goes through periods where all seems fine and then suddenly we are back to the meltdowns again. She is 8 and is in 2nd grade. We can't pinpoint what sets it off either and just like your son, she knows what she can do to calm down (breathe, walk away, think of something positive, change your thinking, etc.) but in the heat of the moment all those things go out the door and she can't seem to calm down. She has ADHD. She has been doing CBT also with a therapist but again in the heat of the moment she melts down. She is also doing a social skills group w Dr. Kelly Obrien too. This seems to be helping a bit and they work on changing their thinking, etc. hopefully with time she will come around and realize it doesn't solve anything and drives ppl away. In the meantime, patience is key - it is so hard I know. Just know you are not alone![/quote]
