[QUOTE="klmno, post: 145528, member: 3699"] I'll look for that this weekend- Thank you!! by the way, it turns out that difficult child's attny has a son who was diagnosis'd as adhd and now diagnosis has changed- they think maybe BiPolar (BP). Anyway, attny and I were chatting- he was asking me questions, like we all do here on the board. I recommended "The Explosive Child", he said he had it, was concerned it was a "too lax" approach, I said "no, try it, tweak it, the concept is really effective, that is what counts, and my difficult child is learning way more this way than he used to". Anyhoooo, the point I'm leading to, I believe it is conversations like this and the experiences and knowledge being spread around that give our kids the best chance and hope- the stigma just has to be dealt with. This board has helped me because I don't think I would have been comfortable having that conversation sitting in a crowded waiting area of Department of Juvenile Justice court otherwise. But, it seemed to help the attny, too! His son is only 5 yo. And, with the lack of local resources and public support, I wouldn't have even known about the book had it not been for this board, I only looked for books that had "BiPolar (BP)" in the title once that diagnosis came up for my son.
