I think I finally found a psychologist who can help us! (My oldest (5yo) has ADHD, my 3yo is heading that way, and I have an already oppositional 1yo). We've been seeing a developmental pediatrician for my oldest for about a year and a half now. He's been recommending behavioral therapy and parent coaching since we started seeing him (and we also eventually put oldest on adderall (awesome results, by the way)!. I've tried 3 different psychologists for the therapy/parent coaching, and they've all been pretty lame. Anyway, I went to see a new guy on Saturday, and was describing a conflict that oldest and I had at soccer the other day. The psychologist said, "Soccer is really a basket C type of situation", he then started to tell me what that meant, and I let him know that we do the "Explosive Child" stuff already. I'm so excited! My biggest problem right now is figuring out what situation belongs in which basket. I think we are finally going to get some real help!
