[quote=Anonymous]This would not work for my child. We use methods from "The Explosive Child" and they work well. That book explains really clearly how for certain kids, high rigidity does not work because they just mirror the rigidity back to you and everything is a battle. On the other hand, passivity/giving in (which is very tempting with really rigid kids) obviously doesn't work either because then the kid runs the show. So what EC talks about is navigating the space between. It's hard. Holding boundaries with empathy -- hard. Supporting your kid while the find a solution themselves-- hard. There aren't trucks or shortcuts. You're literally teaching a child how to self-regulate, problem solve, be resilient, develop flexibility, etc. How many adults do you know who are great at that? So yeah, it's f***ing hard.[/quote]
