[quote=Anonymous]I've been reading a book called "The Explosive Child" to deal with a different problem (7 year old DS who goes into furious rages), but it recommends a "cooperative problem solving" method that it says works for all children. Basically, it recommends figuring out "triggers" (situations that are reliably likely to lead to confrontations) and sit down with the child to come up with a plan, at a time when you both are calm. You should look at the book or website about "cooperative problem solving" to get the steps right, because there's some art to it. I don't know if it will work in your situation, but so far I've found it very helpful. Good luck. I feel your pain - my oldest is only 9, but the preteen moodiness is already starting![/quote]
