[QUOTE="pearlofgrace, post: 130856, member: 2592"] You definitely should drop that doctor. Have you read the book The Explosive Child by Dr. Ross W. Greene? It's a good book. It's helps us, first, understand why our children are so "explosive" and, second, how to handle it with CPS (Collaborative Problem Solving). CPS is what we use when solving other problems in our lives, it's just more difficult and has to be done differently with our explosive children. I will tell you it it's right on for how to deal with your child but it will not be an overnight fix; it will not be easy. You've got to prepare yourself for swallowing your pride while being screamed at, raged at, etc. and continue to talk calmly no matter what...and, of course, recognizing when YOU need to walk away to calm down. That has been very hard for me and my husband. We get screamed at so much I just want to smack her but that would serve no useful purpose other than releasing steam. (I have been so stressed out lately even my dentist noticed because I clench my teeth.) Hope this helps. Blessings, Mel [/QUOTE]
