[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 379715, member: 1991"] Welcome. Perhaps one of the first things we can recommend, to help you manage him better (and also manage your own short fuse at times) is to read "The Explosive CHild" by Ross Greene. If you have a look around the site, you will find the book often gets recommended. There are a lot of "how to" books around, a lot of them seem to increase a parent's workload, when you already feel overloaded. I personally found this book reduced my workload, and even before I thought I was implementing anything, I felt difficult child 3's behaviour was improving. And I hadn't started doing anything! (so I thought). But what I HAD done, was change my mindset. My attitude to my child was part of the problem, although of course there was a helluva lot more to it. But make a tiny start somewhere, and it can begin a positive reinforcement loop in behaviour turnaround. I'm in a bit of a rush tonight, so I'll leave off now (don't want to overload you anyway). I'll check back in a while. Marg [/QUOTE]
