[QUOTE="SquirrelBait, post: 609869, member: 16936"] We are trying their steps. Have not bought the program yet just doing as newsletters and web site talks about. Main thing so far is to not give in to getting into a battle or screaming match with them. It is funny to watch him try and process what is happening when he screams and yells and we only let him know he can't be disrespectful to us and he can go into another part of the house till he can talk to us properly. Also he does not understand why we are not forcing him to do things. He keeps yelling at us and saying we are always making him do stuff his does not want to, shower, brush teeth, homework, put on clean clothes and so on. Well we use to make him but now we are not but now he is saying we are. But no shower, no clean clothes. So far it has not worked well but today it did. He could wear his gym clothes and not his uniform to school. Gym clothes where clean, he was not so no gym clothes. But we have check lists for everything. He knows what he needs to do and has everything there to do it. It is his option but everything has recourse. Wife is a little less stressed so that is good so far. It has been very trying for us and his issues are getting worse by the day. But anyone have experience with the "Empowering Parents" program? difficult child is 11.5. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) with Mood disorder, ADD, ADHA, ODD and lord only knows what else. Vyvanse is main Rx with 2 or 3 others. Sorry have not kept up with current changes in medications wife does that. Wife not Bio mom but has had him since 2 weeks old NO social skills [/QUOTE]
