[QUOTE="miche, post: 295864, member: 3488"] I've already read The Explosive Child. The only part that seemed to work was to keep reminding myself to choose my battles and decide what is really important. Otherwise, my difficult child does NOT respond to any type of chart, token, incentive, etc. We actually told her she could have a Wii (what she really wants) if she could get 5 positive behavior checks in one day. Didn't matter!! Anyway, husband is ready to give her up one day, the next he tells me to not give her any medications. I don't know what to do. I'm willing to try tenex, but he thinks ONE dose of it yesterday morning caused a meltdown at night when we said she couldn't go for a walk with the neighbors. A complete knock down drag out 2 year old type temper tantrum complete with crying, kicking, and screaming in front of ALL of her friends and our neighbors. Her emotions are getting worse -- she used to be able to keep it together when we were outside with friends and neighbors, now I think she doesn't care or can't. husband knows she's not like other kids, but is in complete denial. He won't come to the doctor with us, he thinks medications will hurt her, and he really thinks that behavior management will help. BUt then last week he yelled at her so much I came in the house because I thought he was going to beat her, he was so mad. He told her we wanted to give her away and then asked me to start researching halfway houses or something like that becuase he couldn't live his life like this. Then two days later he doesn't want to try Tenex. I can't give it to her without his knowledge, but he is also not with her all day long....and althogh he knows what she is doing to me, he's not here so it's not the same. [/QUOTE]
