Copa...thanks for your response. When Son A went away to college, we said we would pay . 3rd yr started dropping classes & lost trajectory and failing classes( not taking care of his business). He did not want to communicate about what was happening.... He came home for a visit, ......he says...

Thank you for all your thoughts. I had such a hard time writing this down. And NO we did not beat them night and day. We were love and logic parents. Its feels so crazy to be so excited to have a grand child coming and have my son's behavior get hostile. I had a discussion with my...

thank you.

I think that Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is highly likely. He could also be very high functioning autistic. I have some ideas and some concrete things that may help. This is probably going to be a long reply. Bear with me. First, I think you need to read"The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. Then you need to read...

I have a few different thoughts. So this might be long. As you are her mother's partner, you need to step way back from any sort of discipline, punishment or consequences. I know it is hard, but having you do any of that will make her resent you even more. She probably has a lot of anger and...

It is SOO very hard when they are almost adults and they know everything. It is hard to step back and let them fail or succeed on their own. Refusing to accept the blame, when they want to continue to blame us for decades more, is hard. It also mostly the right thing to do. As is expecting them...

Had anyone used this program. I'm looking at it online. It is affordable. I'm more out of control than my boy. I need help he is happy the way things are.

Hi @crazygram The Love and Logic books have been discussed here many times over the years. Here's a search link: https://conductdisorders.com/community/search/364105/?q=%22love+and+logic%22&o=relevance Explosive Child is another approach that has been discussed many times. explosive child...

There's a book called Love and Logic which has some good recommendations and I think there is information that would help with a loud voice.

I would recommend you get a book called Love and Logic. It gives a lot of great ideas on many of the issues your stepson has. Logical consequences are part of the theory. I'm wondering if this is newer behavior for him or something that has been going on for a long time.

Thanks for the book suggestion, I'll check it out. As for the behavior, it's been going on for a few years now, but it's just gotten to the point where it's just almost every week he's here. I really began to notice this stuff over the last 2 years. I was hoping it was going to calm down with...

Diagnosing children is really hard. New symptoms can appear out of the blue and change everything, or old symptoms can fade away. I strongly suggest you look for a neuropsychologist and have extensive testing done to rule out anything else. This is a specialist psychologist with intensive...

She does not have a phone, we just can't allow it. That would end in a nightmare. We took the WII away because of it's ability to surf the net as well. We can't let her have ANYTHING with that capability. She has proven time and time again she can't be trusted. We know she get's singled out by...

(((((hugs))))) I think you are going to have to get tough on them. They sure are not going to go easy on you. There are a LOT of things you can do. I might start with taking video of any attempts to discipline them as they have started calling child abuse and you don't want them calling CPS...

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS trust that mom gut. You have instincts for a reason!!! The times I made the biggest mistakes with my kids are the times I ignored my instincts. Learn from my mistakes. I also know that there were times I listened to my instincts and ended up saving my kids from really bad...

So my son went to partial today and yesterday without complaint. I went to my first parent support group meeting a lot of stories sound the same. Today we met with the doctors to discuss medication and I think we have somewhat of a plan for that going forward. I have been reading Love and Logic...

I have a son who behaved very much as your son is. It started about when his little sister became able to move around on her own. He was so sweet with her until then (he is almost 4 yrs older). He is in his mid 20s now and is such an amazing person. He very much has Asperger's (a type of...

Thanks for your response Susie and I really appreciate you sharing your experience. I did start keeping a diary of my experiences with her and used detailed accounts from it to get her into residential. Of course barely 3 weeks later now she's back thanks to the insurance company. I have...

I agree with this a dad. This is what I am trying with my own son. He wants to be close to us but he does not want to work at a job. Nor does he want to stop using marijuana. But we have kicked him out before. Over a four year period. There were gains: way less hostility and aggression; his...

I am sorry you have to deal with the rages/tantrums/meltdowns. Consistent discipline works wonders for the tantrums. Kids on the autistic spectrum usually do extremely well with very set rules. The Love and Logic books are amazing if you haven't read them. (Parenting Your Child With Love and...
