[QUOTE="samsdad, post: 253737, member: 7005"] First of all any transition for him can cause an explosion, but does not always do so. Examples clothes, dinner, bedtime, etc... He comes off as real angry about something during explosions and when asked he typically replies in a very Bill Cosby manner " I don't know" As far as his speech he is very well spoken and always has been ahead of the curve (others opinions not just me bragging) As you stated... "There are ways to make transitions easier if that does seem to be an issue." I am willing and able to do anything to solve this. We really need to work on this as well as respect for teachers, care providers. My son and us have been to a child psyc. and she turned us on to The Explosive Child. My real is during the one hour sessions he really showed none of the traits for why we brought him in. She stated after about our tenth session (including her visiting his preschool) that the move and new school were probably main causes. Other than quoting the book to me I really did not gain much confidence there. Dinner begins with his selection process. Now I really do not want to shock anyone too badly, but my son if we let him would eat pickles, cucumbers, broccoli, corn on the cob, green bean, etc.. every night for dinner. After he has selected (part of giving him choices and responsibility) his dinner he will sit down and eat normally through about 2/3 of his meal and then ask for a treat if he finishes his meal. We usually allow for a fruit snack or something similar after he clears his plate. Problemns usually develop at this point including " i am too tired to eat", "My arms are too sore to eat", and my favorite lately " my legs are too tired to eat" As for an overall description of his behavior. Change/transition/redirection/ discipline equals explosion typically involving collapsing on the floor and rolling around wailing at the top of his lungs. then start the I dont like you's and such.
