[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 606780, member: 13260"] We credit the amazing kindergarten teacher that recommended this book to us as saving my grandson's school life. All the problems at home sure didn't get any better at school! It wasn't a magic bullet, but it sure gave some strategies, techniques, and the confidence to tell everyone "If he could do good, he would." We went to his website and purchased the school kit for the school ($35 USD). And we worked with everyone who would be working with him on how to use the techniques. They are good techniques for everyone, not just explosive kids. We also downloaded the data worksheet that discussed strengths and deficits and had the teacher fill it out, we filled it out, then we worked together to prioritize what we can all work on at the same time. And as great as that book is, it wasn't 100% reflective of the types of blow-ups we were seeing. We found "The Angry Child: Regaining Control When Your Child is Out of Control" had a lot more "aha's" for us. And the school would definitely do stupid things that would set my grandson off and make the situation so much worse. Either my daughter or my retired husband would go up to the school every morning and lunch recess to make sure things went okay. There simply wasn't enough supervision and this was a risky time for him to get out of control. He doesn't have the social skills to manage a couple of hundred kids and all of their BS and stay out of trouble. It sounds like your school may be smaller? Anyway, good luck! My grandson is in second grade and while he still has problems, he's gained some tools, can identify his feelings, and has better control. Some it has been simply maturing, but everyone has worked so hard, including him. [/QUOTE]
