[quote=Anonymous]Read the work of Ross Greene, either THE EXPLOSIVE CHILD or the material on his website (www.livesinthebalance.org). His approach is that kids "do well when they can"--and that problematic behaviors like the ones you cite are often signs of lagging skills (mostly around executive functioning and self-regulation.) I found his work immensely helpful in getting me out of a moralizing mindset about my kid and getting me toward seeing what her needs really were. (Of course, that doesn't always help when you're faced with the moralizing of others, but it's a start.) GL! It's a tough road you're on.[/quote]
