[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 441053, member: 1991"] I remember being set to school with bread and butter, and money to go buy some hot chips to make a chip sandwich. A special treat. A dietary disaster, these days! I think you may need to quietly sit and make a list of all the problem behaviours, all the things you have fought about, and then work out a priority for them all. Then skim off the top 5 and leave the rest for a while. If you try to fix everything, you end up fixing nothing AND being angry and frustrated (both of you) into the bargain. Do try to find that book in the library - The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. Or failing that, Google it and read what you can on it. It should help, fairly quickly to a small extent. More help takes a little longer but I found this book made my life a lot easier. You tend to think of books and new techniques being too hard to think about to concentrate on, but this one helped me shut off a lot of the stupid nitpicky stuff I had been given to try (and which did not work). The more complicated a solution, the less chance you have of sticking to it. All the best with the psychiatrist today. Marg [/QUOTE]
