[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 43850, member: 84"] Hello and welcome to the board. Have you read the book The Explosive Child by Ross Greene? If not, you might want to give it a try. Alot of parents here find it a huge help. It's hard not to get caught up in the difficult child drama. I think the biggest lesson that I've learned along the way is that my difficult child's don't necessarily CHOOSE to act the way they sometimes do. No child I've ever met enjoys being in trouble and being punished. Our kids are no different. (although at times they can make us wonder) Both my difficult children perceive the world in a different way that what would be considered *normal*. This affects their reactions to the world around them. With my oldest I had to make a constant effort to not yell and loose my temper. Otherwise his life would have consisted of nothing but me yelling at him and punishing him. And yes, there were still times when I'd loose it just because I'm also human and a person can only take so much. But I did discover that I got better results when I managed to hold it together. Raising a difficult child child is a constant challange. It's stressful and physically draining. It's difficult to find people who have even the slightest idea of what daily life with a difficult child is like, let alone understand it. Which is why this board is such a great place. I'm so glad you found us. Hugs [/QUOTE]
