[QUOTE="slsh, post: 683102, member: 8"] Ahhhh yes - "The Explosive Child." I think I still have my copy somewhere. And what was the name of the other one???? Riley wrote one, Greene wrote the other. Remember doing a full Riley? And the good old baskets. I'm definitely getting old because I'm missing those days, LOL. Having adults kids is definitely a whole different ballgame. I've got one who isn't launching in the slightest, and it is a real conundrum - I suspect yet another kid with some significant mental health issues, but my hands are tied because he's 21 and I cannot do a darn thing to advocate for him, and he's not doing a darn thing, and.... holy cow, I'm really just exhausted from this crud. So there's no question that the PE forum is necessary, both for the kids who we've watched grow up on the forum but also for newbies. It is sad that there's not the continuum of ages that there used to be. I know things have changed in terms of what is available for the younger kiddos - the grant that paid for T's Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is extinct in practice if not in name, and budget cuts are playing havoc with community and sped services (not that there were necessarily an overabundance in our day). It would be good to have a core group of parents that are dealing with things now with their younger kids, because they're going to be the best resources for other parents. [/QUOTE]
