[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 282176, member: 1514"] Welcome to the board and bless you for wanting to be a support and good friend. One of the best things you can remember is that none of this is your friends fault. She didnt ask for this, she isnt causing this and she cant fix it with normal parenting "fixes". Telling her to give the child a few good licks just isnt going to do much good. Trust me, if that was all it took, my kid would have been an angel! You could check out the book "The Explosive Child" from the library and read it to get a look inside the kids mind. Tell your friend to take frequent breaks just for herself even if those breaks are only for an hour. She has to recharge her batteries. You are a good friend to care about her. [/QUOTE]
