[QUOTE="tammyjh, post: 107783, member: 3072"] Thanks for the welcomes. Yes, I have read The Explosive Child. In fact, we have his old book, the revised book, the book "Treating Explosive Kids" by Dr. Greene and Stuart Ablon, and their dvd called "Parenting the Explosive Child". The one hospital where she was an inpatient in for a short time uses The Collaborative Problem Solving Approach. It wasn't an approach that worked well with daughter but my other kids are pretty good with it lol. Abby is super concrete and is not able to negotiate when she's in her mood. Her moods switch so fast that its not possible to catch her before she's flipped out to try to talk her down. And yes, we've been reading a lot about brain injury and I did visit a caregiver board a few times. I say "we" because husband does a lot of reading and is very involved. We know that a certain amount of rewiring has gone on which is a great accomplishment but some areas are still lacking. Her empathy is extremly low and she has no desire to really be a part of the family. I've always been ok with the fact that she likes her computer or her barbies better than me because she's not that way out of spite, its because of whats missing. Not that she's older, the worry in that area is that she's become physically aggressive if she doesn't get her way and where she lacks empathy, she doesn't care if she hurts anyone or not. She has been tried on quite a few different medications. with very little results. She is currently on prozac, which was started in a different hospital while she was on their developmental disorders unit for 6 months. There was a definite change in her depression or the level of depression that we had seen here but the question is....is the change because she is on prozac or because she was out of the house. It has been theorized that it may be too overstimulating emotionally for her here because she doesn't really understand or want to understand the social dynamics of the family. We have an appointment. tomorrow with her psychiatrist to discuss other medication options. We have a pretty good case manager who will be there tomorrow and we've been going through the SLOW process of getting in home supports....still in the meetings phase. [/QUOTE]
