Popular Post ericathemom Posted November 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2021 I won. My homeschooled 9yo (who likely has adhd, emphasis on the hyperactivity) had the.most.epic meltdown/tantrum I've seen in years. But! I didn't match his anger level. I didn't punish, yell back, threaten, or react. When I started to feel triggered by his constant yelling, I excused myself to my own room until I could face him again. Later, when he did finally finish his assignment (writing a pretend letter), he included that he loved me. So, please send me my trophy and I'll pass it on to the next parent. Also, please don't talk to me for the next couple of days because I (introvert) am 150% emotionally drained. 35 16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanDiegoMom Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 That is awesome. Seriously. I had so many of those days with my undiagnosed adhd'er, and we had a lot of relationship repairing that had to be done. I constantly got entangled in emotions and we literally always were melting down with each other. It was so dysfunctional. Hats off to you!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
