[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 135332, member: 1161"] I've thought of our difficult child's improvements from when I first joined, and I've realized that while parenting tips & The Explosive Child etc. helped calm things down, things never truly got better until he took ownership of his own behaviors and the fallout from them. I can still remember the conversation when he was just about 12, and he admitted that what was going on in his life was his own doing and he didn't want it that way anymore. I think that was the essential to him working with us and the teachers at school to make things better. As long as they can blame someone else, they don't have to change, because changing yourself is scary. I'm so sorry that wm still doesn't get it. I hope that he has a lightbulb moment, sooner rather than later as well. He's lucky to have you and fostermom in his life. [/QUOTE]
