[QUOTE="Star*, post: 385296, member: 4964"] Hi ya Dudley - I think I shall call you Monkeyshines.....I have read and re-read all your postings and wanted to welcome you to the board. (WELCOME) A couple things jumped out at me through the lines. Or betweent the lines however you like. First of all and for what it's worth - are you on any kind of medication to help you cope? I see you like homeopathic remedies. I won't say that these work or don't. For me they weren't strong enough, Yoga and meditation was good, but with a difficult child pounding on the door screaming "I KNOW YOU ARE IN THERE IS THIS YOUR QUITE TIME, IS IT? IS IT? IS IT? IS IT??" makes it a little hard so I went the route of anti-depressants. (ahem) and thearpy. Family, child and individual. - will talk more later about that. As far as communication? I think it's key with these kids. Or anyone - work, home - grouchy neighbor. Get a book if you can at the library called "How to talk to kids so they'll listen and how to listen to kids so they will talk." it's about the best book I've ever read in my life on effective communication and parenting. The other books that I've read on ODD, ADHD explain the disorders - but for me didn't help me to talk to my son as much as this one did. they also have one for teens and it has a week - by - week work study in it. You're in good hands here - I hope you come back often - love the chimp lips picture - hence the monkeyshines - and you will shine through all this - good days are ahead. You'll learn to love them more than any parent in the world. Just maybe start with that book and puruse it - too much info at first is info. overload. More later from everyone I'm sure.
