[QUOTE="SRL, post: 49363, member: 701"] Good for you for making some positive changes in your lives. The Explosive Child did literally change our lives as well. It also enabled us to keep my son off of medications for behavioral issues except anxiety and was the primary strategy we used to bring him back a long, hard path from a combination anxiety/poor medication response. Most families who have initial success with The Explosive Child will have a stretch where things will go smoothly. Parents are working in a way that enables the child to function, and the child's knee jerk reaction to authority starts to relax. The Explosive Child is a significant intervention strategy, however, and parents who need to go to this extreme to bring about functioning usually are parents of a child with underlying neurological issues that WILL flare up again and ebb and flow over time. The difference is now that you have a tool in your arsenal that you didn't before--you will be better able to handle those periods. You should look into an Alphasmart keyboard for your son. Many schools have these small keyboards available for kids with handwriting issues. There's an Occupational Therapist (OT) program called Writing Without Tears that is beneficial to many as well. Keep digging through thorough assessments to get to the bottom of his issues. Accurate data will empower you more than anything. [/QUOTE]
