[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another resource is Dan Shapiro’s Parent Child Journey. He has an online class that teaches helpful skills, but even more importantly connects you with other parents going through the same issues. Additionally, he has weekly support group meetings that are free. Even if you don’t ask a question, it can be helpful to listen to other people to feel less alone. [/quote]

this, a thousand times. [/quote]

DP but in a similar situation to OP and looking for similar resources. I just looked through Shapiro's website and this looks really appealing to me, I'm going to bring it up with my DH tonight.

Can someone who has done it tell me a little more about it and how it helped? I want to be able to sell DH on it. I know he will not want to do the live support group meetings, but I am okay just doing that on my own. But I want some buy in for the course and am hoping DH will do it with me so we can be more on the same page with regards to our approach to DC. Any feedback would be great.[/quote]

We did it and felt that it gave us a number of tips to try on DC when the situation gets really heated. It was also really good to hear from other parents what they were going through and things they were doing with their child to help them as well as developing our own coping mechanisms as adults going through this. He has a very welcoming, open style that I really appreciated. It was one of the more inexpensive therapies we did and felt it was a good value for everything we learned/ got out of it. Plus if you ever need to go back in a year or so as your DC grows and needs change, I think you can take the class again without charge. [/quote]
