[QUOTE="Cathyliz, post: 211893, member: 6300"] Wow, I wish you lived near me. I'm a licensed family child care provider and I'd take your difficult child in a heartbeat! I'm actually listed on one of our local directories as specializing in ADHD and behavioral issues. See if any of your local child care referral directories has something like that in their listings. You may have to call and ask someone in person. It's awesome that your provider is willing to work with you--that's HUGE!!! Never EVER take her for granted! That alone to me screams that she truly is commited to her job. Have you seen the follow up book to "The Explosive Child"? It's called "Treating Explosive Kids". See if your local library has it. (I always try to do that before buying a book, but I still have a library full! lol) Good luck with everything. My difficult child (15 now) is one reason I went into family child care--I knew he'd never last with anyone else! My nephew (also bipolar) was kicked out of 3 daycare centers before he was 2yo, and went on to get kicked out of several summer camps and high school. He's a senior now and so far, so good (as far as we know--we're in CO and they're in NC). My difficult child is in a therapudic day treatment center/school (freshman in high school) and doing well so far. Of course, it's only been a week and a half, but it's promising to know that he really can behave if he tries hard enough. I'd love to hear updates when you can on how your difficult child is doing. :) Cathy in CO difficult child 1, 15, ADHD, Bipolar (probably ODD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), aspergers), abilify, invega, allergy medications difficult child 2, 13, probably ADD, no medications husband [/QUOTE]
