[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 261209, member: 7170"] Hi Jennifer, I'm also new here and the others are right to warn you about posting things on the internet, at some point your child will grow up and who knows? might be running for public office and isn't going to want their early childhood years coming back to haunt them. I can so relate to what you wrote about the sky falling and hitting you in the head, many days I feel like that. I have a child who can't handle hearing the word "no" and often I slip and say it which usually results in her throwing everything she can get her hands on straight at my head. In my case the sky isn't falling, a tornado has hit my home. The book the Explosive Child is a good one and those methods can help a lot - with mine I've had to fine tune a combination of positive behavior management, the explosive child and "Shamu". Shamu is from a couple books written by Amy Sutherland that at first glance have nothing to do with parenting but some of the practices can be applied to kids. The titles "Kicked, Bitten & Scratched - life lessons learned at the premier school for exotic animal training" and "What Shamu taught me about life, love & marriage" are available at many libraries and they have helped me a lot. I also get a chuckle out of the ways this lady uses techniques for training exotic animals to help train her husband. I figure if it will work to help a trainer not get eaten by a Lion it stands a chance at working with my kids. Very simplified version is try to reward the behaviors you like and ignore the ones you don't. [/QUOTE]
