Thanks for all the suggestions. Lately, DS is throwing less temper tandems but having a hard time with criticisms.
When I try to correct his behaviors, he will turn his face around and act like he is mad. Or he will tell me that he doesn�t like me because I told him a week ago he was being bad (with details that I don't even remember).
I know it�s an undesirable behavior, but how should I go about address the issue?
I think both of those behaviors are actually postive and show a lot of
1) handling strong emotions well by turning face around
2) using your words
In
'Transforming the Difficult Child Workbook' by Lisa Bravo. is a great choice for OE/Gifted families.
There is encouragement to make a clear list of "No" rules. So if a child is clearly having a strong feeling, but not biting, kicking, or blocking a family activity, then there is a lot to praise, and lots of room for a strong emotional connection over the good things your child is doing.
