[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 249047, member: 6546"] Hi Stella-- I know where you are coming from...We're pretty new to the techniques in "The Explosive Child", too. One of the problems we've run into right from the start is that there seems to be a disconnect for difficult child between "talking" about doing something and "actually" doing something. She can give you the textbook definition of compromise...but has trouble understanding what that means in terms of real life. Basically, she wants to do what she wants to do when and how she wants to do it--and anything else seems to be a problem. Like you, we've found that by deciding certain issues can be treated as "Plan C"--has been a HUGE stress reliever. I'm sure that my blood pressure has dropped by not engaging in daily battles over homework, chores, hygiene etc etc When we've been trying Plan B--it [I]feels[/I] like we come to a resolution...everyone is happy with the plan...and then when it is time for difficult child to do her part...the part SHE came up with--nothing happens. So we're still trying to figure it out ourselves.... Best of luck! --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
