[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 34684, member: 1991"] I posted on your last thread. What I suggest - write your own summary of "The Explosive Child". Do it as a book review. (If you get stuck on this one, I'll give you a copy of mine). Then give them copies and ask them to be on board with you, to use this method, because for this child, the usual tried and true techniques are not only not working, they're making him worse. It's not that their methods are wrong, they're only wrong for him and other kids like him. And once the whole process is underway with him, there may be some fine tuning that their expert knowledge could help identify and put in place, but within the framework of Ross Greene's described methods. (I'm assuming here, from what you said, that you're at least starting at this point). Also, keep detailed notes in some sort of diary, and ask them to contribute to it. Observations, thoughts, concerns - good things bad things, it all needs to be written down. We called it difficult child 3's "Communication Book". When they're writing it down for posterity, people either get their own impulsivity off their chests, or they consider their words more carefully. It's also very valuable to go back years later and read it all, to see how far you've all come. Anything more - just nod and smile. Marg [/QUOTE]
