Then on the other spectrum I have one (7) who has told me "what would you think if I told you that I don't want to live here anymore?" YIKES!<BR/>Just recently I started having them write down why they did whatever it was. Not because so and so hit me, but the real heart issue. Like I wanted revenge or something like that. <BR/>I think the fasting is a very good idea too. I think I might try it with a couple of my children. <BR/>Also if I could recommend one book, besides the Bible, it would be "The heart of anger" bu Lou Priolo. It really helped me find verses that helped them see the real reason behind their actions.Zimms Zoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671798321373854716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-30307792842756556592008-02-11T14:58:00.000-06:002008-02-11T14:58:00.000-06:00Daja, I see that this is good advice and I need to...Daja, I see that this is good advice and I need to think a little on how to implement it. I see too that despite the autism, the underlying character issue is what really needs to be addressed.<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much, Daja. One of those times where it's not what I wanted to hear but what I NEEDED to hear.Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-5787583886329464852008-02-11T11:26:00.000-06:002008-02-11T11:26:00.000-06:00{{{HUGS}}}Autism or not, our children can have tro...{{{HUGS}}}<BR/><BR/>Autism or not, our children can have trouble with their mouths and anger. We've seen it in this house.<BR/><BR/>Recently we've been dealing with it by fasting and prayer.<BR/><BR/>Even those powerful first apostles could not overcome some spirits. And basically Jesus told them that even the toughest things in life could be overcome by prayer and fasting.<BR/><BR/>Fasting destroys the yoke and undoes heavy burdens and sets the oppressed free. (Isaiah 58)<BR/><BR/>My husband and I have been fasting and praying more. And we've been having the children who are having attitude problems fast. Meg (6 years old) went without desserts or anything sugary (even breakfast cereal) for about a week, while she memorized parts of 1 Cor. 13. And we've seen a real change in her attitude. <BR/><BR/>All that to say, that there is hope and to please don't give up on your children. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE with Him! There is nothing to difficult for Him--even autism!<BR/><BR/>Love you!Gombojav Tribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03351284199061330040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-36493803292157278212008-02-11T10:52:00.000-06:002008-02-11T10:52:00.000-06:00Thanks, I need those!!!Thanks, I need those!!!Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-36636215153402204442008-02-11T09:12:00.000-06:002008-02-11T09:12:00.000-06:00Not easy at times, heres a hug for you (H)Not easy at times, heres a hug for you (H)Casdokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497897393162856190noreply@blogger.com
