[QUOTE="lovelyboy, post: 441126, member: 8045"] Hi...sorry to hear about your difficult day!!! I went and bought me the "explosive child" from Green.....I'm only at chapter 3 now and already things are starting to turn for the good! What I realized and also identified in your post is that I used to meet my son head on...Now I started to realize that my child is not trying to behave like this (explosive) on purpose but because he doesn't know how to handle things differently! So this made me relax a bit more...not taking his attacks personal....and also afterwards trying to discuss alternative behaviour. Something I also read was that you must create 3 baskets with rules....Basket 1 can be rules that can be changed...basket 2, slight bending and basket 3 the rules that can't be negosiated (that can cause harm for example)...(Sorry I might have this wrong...have n't read all of it yet).....So maybe not to feel like a failure or that you have "lost a battle", just because you CHOOSE to bend one rule, like what he can eat. Hope all of this makes sense? Huggs [/QUOTE]
