[QUOTE="BellyKate, post: 87917, member: 4169"] Thank you all for your kind and supportive words ! It's always good to know you aren't completely alone, or the only one going through these sort of things. Thank you so much for the book recommendation ! I found it at the local library (miracle!) and have been devouring it. Yesterday I was far enough into the book to try out some of the stuff and I have to say that we had the best day together that we've had in a very long time. I was using the baskets and helping her find solutions. This morning we had a talk about being mean to the cat and she said "let's see if we can find a solution mum"... good result so far ! Hopefully I can use those ideas to avoid Bratz fingernail meltdowns in public and avoid the kinds of meltdowns where she puts holes in her bedroom walls ( that was a week before the Bratz fingernail meltdown). I saw the local GP who was at a loss as to who to refer us to. We live in a small town. The local Child psychologist saw us 2 years ago and basically said she is like this because I have suffered from depression. I went on a huge guilt trip after that but finally decided he was wrong ! So, not too keen to go see him again. I have a referral for a paediatrician ... not sure which other path to go down. She doesn't start school until next year. My other option is to go to Sydney to see someone. I realise if I am to use the ideas in The Explosive Child then I am going to have to get more sleep (so that I'm not sooooo so tired all the time) and really think on my feet. But I like the ideas being presented, they make sense and I am willing to give it a good go ! Thank you all again ! [/QUOTE]
