I must say that naming her emotions have already made a huge difference. We had a very peaceful weekend that's just passed. :-)Karen du Toithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17962536496240863886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410985627936537274.post-76510207399142010682018-03-19T11:10:11.178+02:002018-03-19T11:10:11.178+02:00My eldest daughter had similar problems.

One thing that helped when she was having a meltdown was to massage her feet, even if she was quite out of her mind I would just grab a foot and start rubbing, it was amazing how quickly she would calm down.

She says she wants movement , and definite outcomes. We are already seeing improvement. It seems as soon as we put a name to the emotions, we get a grip on the behaviour.

Crumbs. I agree with Louisa about the pressure. Too much for these kids these days. I am glad you are doing something about it though. It's quite something to get to that point of asking for help though.
