[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 37192, member: 1991"] Nobody has suggested "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene to you yet, so I'll put my oar in. it won't fix him, it only makes it easier for you to cope with him and to hep him cope with himself. The underlying problems will still be an issue, but the oppositional stuff CAN be at least reduced. It's definitely worth a read. There is also some discussion surrounding application of the techniques in this book - see the Early Childhood forum. Also, Google the book, have a browse. And always keep an open mind re diagnosis - our kids are complex and adaptable. As they adapt, trying to juggle coping with the world with their disability (whatever it is) a lot of symptoms end up being masked. Some people can think think there are no problems, but it's like a swan on the lake - it looks serene but if you look below the surface you will see a lot of furious activity is needed, just to seem normal and peaceful. Welcome to the site. Help is at hand! Marg [/QUOTE]
