[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 53466, member: 1550"] I'm really glad that the book has helped you. It's helped lots of us! You have so many kids. Really, I'm amazed you're still sane at all...lol. I give you credit. "The Explosive Child" is basically a way to maintain while you find out what is really wrong with the kids and treat them. It's a way to diffuse tension in the house. It doesn't diagnose--no book can do that. You need to get private evaluations. If you have any kids who repeat words or compulsively do things over and over again, and just watch, I strongly recommend a neuropsychologist to see if the child is on the autism spectrum. It's usually first diagnosed as ADHD. My son used to echo, rock, and loved to switch lights on and off. I think the dropping food, if it intensely interests him, could be a fascination that could be traced to sensory issues. I'd still go ahead and try to get new evaluations, but am glad you are getting respite at home. I think your kids may meltdown more at school because they have LESS structure and more transitions, and your kids do well with structure. I think you two are GREAT parents. Many of us don't "get" how good structure is for our kids, trust me, I didn't get it. Also, school makes demands on them that you don't--maybe, mixed in with other stuff, they have Learning Disability (LD) problems or sensory problems or transitioning issues--there could be many reasons why they melt down at school more than home, but I don't think it has a thing to do with your parenting.
