[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 356440, member: 1991"] Also to add to the previous advice (which I fully endorse) - while waiting for appointments, things to happen to help, etc - get your hands on "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. Get it out of the library, borrow a copy, Google it - do whatever you can to read up on the techniques. Speaking form my own experience, I had been a member on this site for over a year or more, before i was able to get my hands on a copy. I was worried that it would give me a lot of tasks to do when I was already exhausted and barely treading water. But actually, it was brilliant. I found that just by reading it, I was changing my mindset towards my child without even realising it, and as a result his behaviour was changing, even though I hadn't made any changes (or so I thought). It's not a cure. But crikey, do we manage so much better now! Also, posting on this site helped me get support and confidence form other parents, which I needed to stand up and yell for help here, locally, for my child. I was scared I was asking for too much, but it turned out I was asking for very little of his basic human rights. Marg [/QUOTE]
