[QUOTE="Penguin, post: 609981, member: 12440"] Hi there, I bought the book "Transform your child" by James Lehman, who I understand developed the Empowering Parents Program. I didn't want to spend the money in case I didn't like the program. Well I was really impressed by the book (only $2 on kindle - bargin!) and we are using his solutions to the situations that are similar to what we are experiencing. We got to the point where we couldn't handle the abuse anymore and behaviour therapy wasn't working. We have adopted the checklists - outlining what is expected, when and consequence if it doesn't happen and stuck it on the fridge. It was REALLY hard to do and stick with, but ever so slowly my difficult child has improved. We still have our moments - every day, and it will never be perfect, but it has given me more confidence in dealing with difficult child. I think that is the real benefit. For us it got to the point that I was almost paralysed by gfc's behaviour. The book also gave me perspective - which I totally had lost. So if the program is a more detailed version of the book, then I would say keep trying. Even the author says a new rule can take 17 times to implement. Good luck Penguin [/QUOTE]
