[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 41036, member: 1161"] While I recommend the book, I don't follow it 100% completely as he suggests. It did help me to take a step back and talk things out with my difficult child and find myself able to differentiate between the things that were worth battling over and things that weren't so important. Finding my difficult child's triggers are sometimes nigh to impossible. He could have a meltdown, and later talking to him and working it back it could have been something like the tag on his shirt bugging his neck. The tag would bug him, but he wouldn't connect that to being allowed to cut it off, so it would keep bugging and then everything would bug him until everything was too much. By the time he'd start to get antsy, and you tried talking to him, so many things were wrong you couldn't work through anything to avert a meltdown, and talking to him made it worse. So while techniques in the book are helpful in some ways, they don't always work for everything I'm one who doesn't believe that ANY of these parenting techniques are completely 100% the way to go. Nothing works all the time in every situation, you sometimes have to adapt. I tend to read the books, pick out what I feel will work for our family, and work it into all the other things I've learned and advice I've been given - what works for US. [/QUOTE]
