[QUOTE="Malika, post: 606935, member: 11227"] Hello Confused. Sorry you are going through all this... it isn't easy. Just a question: have you read The Explosive Child by Ross Greene? I don't want to make out that it's the panacea to all ills but I find it very valuable... something of a light in the dark of explosions. The thing about explosions is that there is a moment when they still can be arrested or, better still, prevented. I'm just thinking aloud here but I wonder whether there was any chance that your whole morning's fiasco could have been averted if your son had felt his initial concern had been addressed. Not easy at 5.30 in the morning!!!! But... I wonder whether if there had been some discussion as to why he wanted a bath straight away and in which you were able to state your desire to go back to bed, none of this might ever have happened. You know your son, you know whether that might be feasible or not. In the case of my son, the way in which he is spoken to and dealt with kind of predicates everything, determines whether there will be an explosion or not. Yes, it is very exhausting and I wish it weren't such hard work all the time! But it is less hard work than dealing with the fallout from explosions. Just a few thoughts. [/QUOTE]
