[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 449322, member: 11791"] keista - I know what you mean about finding time to read, but... can I make a suggestion? BORROW "the book" and read about 4 pages... there's a list of "unmet needs". Its a [U]must read[/U] even when you're not dealing with "explosive". If the issue is more at school, then get "Lost in School" instead of "The Explosive Child" - same author, same approach, but from a school perspective - and it has the same list of unmet needs... If the list sets bells ringing in your head - [U]then[/U] spending the effort to read the book makes sense. The list doesn't apply to every child... artmama - Good news is, he probably doesn't have one whole set of dxes... Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), developmental dyspraxia, and the parts of this that may go with things in the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) range. This is good news because the physical issues are really hard on self-esteem, especially once they start school, and doubly-especially for boys. I think we call it "the book" because its the [U]one[/U] book that seems to apply more often than not - and most of what's in it doesn't hurt, even if it isn't the answer. Some of us who use this approach with difficult child also use it with easy child - makes it easier on everyone to be consistent, and it works for PCs too... [/QUOTE]
