[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 40931, member: 1991"] It's not a cure, it never can be. All I found is that it helps us manage things much, much better. And then we began to do well enough to get into a positive feedback loop and things REALLY began to improve. The criticisms expressed - I agree with them. You need time, sometimes, which we haven't got. You can't always (and sometimes never) see the triggers early enough to prevent them, all you can do is try. And you don't do nearly as well if you haven't got all caregivers on the same page. I know Janna said that it didn't help her, she used to get really angry when people kept sending her back to the book. I believe she really gave it a good try, it's just that I think there may be a rare few kids for whom this simply won't work, and from what Janna's shared with us about her difficult child 2, he sounds like one of them. The thing is, with a kid like that there really isn't ANYTHING that helps much. One thing I like - you customise it to suit your own situation, and this can happen almost on automatic pilot. You take on board what works and 'bleep' over the stuff that doesn't. Marg [/QUOTE]
