[QUOTE="mandcc96, post: 146892, member: 5075"] I have to agree Marg, on the quote (which was an amazing summary of our house too!) and on your summation. I know that a book isn't a cure. Absolutely, but it is a place to start to find a way to work together instead of fighting. I too, wish I had heard of this book sooner. I might have had a better routine in motion to prevent the majority of the devastating outbursts and rages. There were things that had already been implemented in our house just to keep the peace that still works to this day. We always knew that when difficult child got off the bus from school, she needed to come home first and drop her items off, get a snack and then proceed to what came next. You can imagine the car ride (and the dents in my dashboard) if we picked her up at the bus stop for an outing, appointment, whatever. As long as we stick to the routine and give her time warnings (5 minutes, 3 minutes, times up) she handles thing much better. I just would've thought and I guess expected her to outgrow these routines. That's where this book has come into play in our lives. Since these routines still work but need some honing for age and agenda I'm hoping to find new options that fit our changing lives (from childhood to teenager and ultimately adulthood). Thanks for all of the advice. I will definitely check those things out. Thanks. - Chastity [/QUOTE]
