[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 301465, member: 1233"] Amen BW!! So very often what works for our families is very much different than what we "expected" to work. For many of us the Explosive Child approach seems totally illogical, unwise and sometimes even looks like we are spoiling or overindulging them. Our kids just don't respond teh "normal" way. Often they are not even playing the sport for the ballpark we think we are playing in. As you can imagine, telling someone how to play soccer by giving them barrel-racing info and expectations is a real recipe for anger and frustration! This is one of the reasons we MUST follow our instincts. We can offer opinions and ideas here, so can the docs. the docs can rx medicines and other therapies, but ONLY the parents can say if it seems like a good idea to try what the "pros" say. Because the ONLY "expert" or "pro" in regards to our children is US. That is why we have instincts - to protect our children. If something "feels" wrong in regards to treating your child, then it should not happen. Just in my opinion, of course! [/QUOTE]
