[QUOTE="Josie, post: 383355, member: 1792"] This is how my difficult child used to be, too. I tried to use The Explosive Child method but we never really got to do Basket B things. We had to let go of our expectations and try to maintain some calm in the house. If we added a consequence after the explosion, it made things worse. I am not sure we handled everything properly, at the time, but we did what we had to to get by. I will tell you that once she was stable, we can impose consequences and require chores, etc. without those explosions occurring. There was an underlying problem causing that defiance and moodiness even though it only displayed itself at home. I know there are lots here who would disagree, but I think a kid who has had a 1 hour meltdown requiring a restraint has already had a consequence. That wasn't fun for them either, and I believe if they could control it, they would. I don't mean you have to act like nothing happened. That sad, upset atmosphere in the house is another consequence. [/QUOTE]
