[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 377532, member: 10"] Welcome , I want to recommend the CPS -collaborative problem solving approach. Diagnoses dont tell us much , but unsolved problems and lacking skills do. In a sentence the most important thing we can do for a child is have conversations with him , he doing the talking , we listeneing directing the conversation with dialog questions , focusing on perpective taking , identifying concerns, problem solving of general stuff then moving onto the emotive stuff . He has to learn to trust the process , develop the skill and see you as a help. Mentors , older brothers , being involved in clubs or organizations with different age groups and generations helps kids think like adults . We have to relax the the atmosphere in the home , more dance, music , general chatting - before we ask something of him , fist connect , enter his world and work with him . It is not a technique or a magic bullet , not easy . education is a process. We nned to nurture ourselves so we can become a source of hope and joy , negative thoughts get us down , we would be a lot better without them - check out the work by Byron Katie [url]http://allankatz-parentingislearning.blogspot.com/2010/07/children-do-well-if-they-can.html[/url] There are 2 sites [url]http://thinkkids.org[/url] and [url]http://livesinthebalance.org[/url] . Look for the TSI - thinking skills inventory / ALSUP - the assessed lacking skills and unsolved problems checklists - depending on the site - and go through the check lists If you do get books make sure it is the latest editions . I hope this helps Allan [/QUOTE]
