[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 564088, member: 13260"] Oh my, glad he's okay! And I totally understand that feeling of looking down the years ahead and thinking that this lovely child that you love so much may not "grow out of" issues, and that things may even get more complicated and scary. Yeah, executive functioning skills are an issue with so many of our kids. I did find a book that's kind of old now (1996), but I liked it: Raising a Thinking Child, and on the cover it says: Help your young child to resolve everyday conflicts and get along with others. It also (and this is what drew me in) comes with a workbook of pictures to color, scripts, guided discussions, dialogue ladders for different situations, how to help the child sequence events when they are under stress so that they can solve their own problems, etc. They call it the I Can Problem Solve Program. I think it's pretty valuable and both of my grandkids enjoy using it. I need a system with which to stay organized and refer back to, and this gives me that. It's by Myrna B. Shure, with Theresa Foy Digeronimo. I work with kids all along the autism spectrum, emotionally disturbed, cognitive impairment, and then with my grandson who has many ADHD features, and is an explosive child (and The Explosive Child book/theories/techniques have been of inestimable value to our whole family), plus a perfectly typical four year old granddaughter learning to navigate the complicated social world of pre-school, and this book is useful for all of these kids. Hug him tight for us and keep him talking. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
