[quote=Anonymous]Nanny again - I work with a child with adhd and autism. When I arrived, he used to yell and scream and tell his mother he wanted her to die. He tried that with me as well. While he was yelling, I would speak calmly to him. No matter how much he yelled, I remained calm. I would say “please speak to me in a different way” and “I want to help you, but I need for you to speak calmly, so I can understand what you need”. I just kept modeling calm behaviour over and over again, until the child eventually started speaking to me in a calm voice. He rarely yells at me anymore, but when he does, I remind him that I hear him and that I’m there to help. I ask him to please speak to me in a clan voice, so I can understand what he is trying to say. It takes a lot of patience, but when you yell, you just teach them that’s how you communicate together.
