[QUOTE="Malika, post: 544651, member: 11227"] Hi PittieBoo. I too have a 5 year old when he is amazing when he is not being explosive (well, and whiney/obstructive :)) I echo the notion that none of the conventional techniques are going to work although... I can only speak for my child and he DOES want firmer limits, really - in conjunction with the strategies set out in "The Explosive Child". Do you have a partner or are you raising him alone? I have often noticed that my son seems to thrive on male company, particularly strong, active, "male" kind of men who can set limits that he automatically respects. Does your son have any male presences in his life if he does not see his father? Just a particular thought. Welcome to this forum, which is very supportive and helpful. [/QUOTE]
