I just got my copy of The Explosive Child in the mail today and am 30 pages into it and I just have to say:
Holy Cow!!!
This is the second thing I have ever heard that makes ANY sense whatsoever about my child. (The first being his diagnosis of Asperger's).
This book is awesome!!!
I have always felt, albeit instinctively that trying to "show the child who is boss" was just wrong, wrong, wrong, but I have never been able to articulate why.
I have always felt that if difficult child could control himself, he would.
Now I am learning why he cannot & what to do about it.
Thank you to everyone who recommended this book.
It is the only thing I have read so far that even begins to explain what goes on with him & how to fix it.
What a great, great book!
