[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have been there. Some children do not respond to consequences or incentives. The thing that saved us was Ross Greene. Check out his books, podcast, the B Team group on Facebook. It was a radically different approach for my also therapy resistant, very difficult kid. Sending all the empathy - this is so hard.

I’m glad this worked for you but that b team Facebook group I have mixed feelings about. It got so complicated and so involved with each challenge that it was like - impossible to action. I felt like if his methods were so good it shouldn’t be this hard to extrapolate how to put them into practice.
All that being said it’s a good recommendation and if it helps you and op then awesome.
It’s all super hard [/quote]

I agree with you about Ross Greene. The idea that kids need to build skills makes sense, but as far as I can tell, there is no theory on how to build the skills. It’s a good mental framework to have a more productive and positive attitude as adults towards kids’ behavioral challenges, but not much by the way of guidance. In contrast, PCIT has a lot that in my experience really helps- like how to give commands, planned ignoring, praising extremely small steps, repairing the relationship through child-directed interactions. My child responded extremely well to positive and negative incentives to change behavior as well. I’m not sure how I would have taught him those “lagging skills” directly. [/quote]

(btw to clarify - I would love to hear from people for whom it worked. I’m not dissing it. I just don’t understand it.)[/quote]
