[QUOTE="buddy, post: 580497, member: 12886"] Ditto the others! Yes, we do understand consistency is hard, but as IC said, not consistency with punishment. Kids do not want to be in trouble all the time, they do well if they can. Get that book (The Explosive Child) and another is What Your Explosive Child is trying to Tell You....by Doug Riley. Kids who fall apart like this are missing skills they need to cope and handle the world. Counselors look at it from a family systems perspective. And there are situations where family problems are an issue. Plus we can all improve. But you've tried it their way and if things don't improve it's crazy to repeat the same methods. Time to look for other possible causes. To find out how his brain "works". Get a comprehensive evaluation and insist on a neuropsychologist or if you can't get one, a team approach with a developmental pediatrician and thier team ( don't go with that choice if they dont offer a comprehensive team evaluation). Insurance may dictate which way you have to go. We get it, hang in there. Let us know how you're doing. (PS, would love to know more about your difficult child.....is he ok in school and other places?) [/QUOTE]
