[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 462242"] Changing the way I approached issues has been a huge lifesaver for us. I couldn't fix or teach if I didn't know WHY something was happening. Now that The Explosive Child has taught me to find out why, I know how/what to teach to durably fix the situation. I have also realized that difficult child and I can usually negotiate. He is more willing to cooperate if we negotiate when we can. If I say be home at 7 and he says "Bob" wants him to stay until 8, we can compromise for 7:30 but I make it clear to him that he will have less time to do x,y,z before you go to bed. This type of thing works great for many things. Of course, there are always things that are NOT negotiable and I am consisitent with those things. Great thread TM!! [/QUOTE]
