[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 600288, member: 11791"] Not sure if you can get the book where you are, but "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene provides a different perspective. I too used to believe that difficult child "could if he wanted to". Reality? inconsistent performance is part of who they are. It's like saying if you can run one city block, you can run a marathon. You can't. There's a big difference. But kids like ours get this all the time. If you can hold it together for an hour, you can do it for a whole day. If you can write one sentence, you can write a 10-page essay. In reality? they can't. The effort it takes to do X is so huge that doing 10X = impossible. Or, other things are adding to the overload, and it isn't just one particular task. There may be a lot more going on for you son. [/QUOTE]
