[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 410051, member: 1991"] In other threads I already mentioned our experience with the book, "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. I really wish we got a percentage from this book, for the amount of recommendations we make! But no kickbacks, sadly... I posted at length earlier today (my time) so if you look through my recent posts, you should find a LONG post where I talk about kids with impulse control issues and how they need a different approach to discipline. If you google it, or look around this site, you will find a lot of discussion. Also go to the Early Childhood forum and look at the sticky there discussing how to adapt the book to younger kids. "Explosive Child" is, basically, CPS (Collaborative problem Solving). If you have a control freak for a kid, then if you involve them in the process they have more ownership. It short-circuits a lot of the problems and fast-tracks a lot of the more adult responsibilities. Kids like ours want control, but haven't yet got the wisdom. This works towards giving them that control, with parents becoming helpers instead of obstacles. it's a lot easier on everybody and once you begin to get success, it breeds more success. HaoZi, I've got to get off that pedestal! I'm just an ordinary parent like the rest of you, but my kids are now a bit older. difficult child 3 is now 17 and increasingly a big player in his own management. We've needed to work towards this for a long time, it is all part of the hope that one day he will live on his own. I never thought difficult child 1 would be able to live independently; now he's married! Marg [/QUOTE]
