OK Monday....

Today was not so bad. I think I am the one who ruined it around 5pm. One of the toughest things with a child with a Mood Disorder is discipline, especially when there are two other children. I had to punish Tess and Faith, Tess for yelling at her sister and Faith for hitting her. It is not possible to discipline them both the same, however I do have to hold them both to the same standard. So I had to either not punish her and be unfair to Tess, not punish both of them, or send her off into a rage. I chose the later, and it was painful for all of us. However after it was all said and done, I spoke with Faith and we both agreed that I have to hold them all up to the same standard, we just have to figure out a way to punish her without it causing a hour long meltdown. I know it will work its way out, but it is just another thing to have to consider when dealing with Mood Disorders. Tomorrow Faith and Renae are going to the potential school and spend the day with Faith's class. I will post how it goes. Kris
