[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 247732, member: 1991"] Hi and welcome. When you can, try to do a sig. It will save you having to repeat yourself every time you post. There are navigation links around the site to help you with abbreviations and how-to things. But for now - difficult child means Gift From God, the child who is causing you concern. easy child means Perfect Child, although we realise no child is actually perfect, except in indulgnt parental eyes. I do understand the walking on eggshells, we've had to do it with difficult child 3 and also with easy child 2/difficult child 2 at times. A strong suggestion - get yourself familiar with Ross Greene's "The Explosive Child". It's been an incredibly useful book for us in helping us learn a different way to handle our very difficult child. Also check out the Dr Riley thread, he seems to have some ideas on this too that could well be worth a read. I haven't read his book, reading his thread was the first I'd heard of it. I've read a lot of books and not all are much use, but occasionally you find a gem. Nothing is a perfect fit, you take what works and adapt it to your situation. There is a lot I could say to you now, but it would probably just serve to overwhelm you. All I can say, then, is read a lot, trawl through all the posts here, go through the archives, read the various books (get them out of the library to begin with or you'll go broke!) And if you can, get your husband to also do the same. It has done wonders for me and husband, even though we would have said we already were as much on the same page as was possible. In fact, we're even more in sync now. Welcome. There is good help here. Marg [/QUOTE]
