I would love to but I need to actually read this book.
The Explosive Child discussion thread....
Does anyone want to join me on discussing this book, techniques, etc?
I am using the CPS model on my 4 year old and it takes some tweaking to get it to work for him. I can tell this is going to be a looooonnnngggg road but I need to start somewhere

I hear you! Boo has multiple pathway problems. He also has a hard time accepting empathy from me. The one thing I am noticing is that this type of parenting is going to be a huge commitment. I'm so used to taking it one moment at a time and waiting for the next explosive episode. I'm working on being more proactive in doing Plan B instead of relying on emergency plan B.

A pathway I've identified for my ds is language processing. He really struggles with putting what he's feeling into words. Often when I try empathy with him he has a lot of trouble articulating his concern and he gets frustrated with me when I try to help him with that to keep the ball rolling so to speak. I'm not really sure where to go with that. |

Boo is 4 (he'll be five in Feb). I'm having a hard time adapting it to his developmental age.
Maybe we can share scenarios and then offer advice on how to handle it?
I think it's going to take a loooooonnnngggggg time and a lot of practice for it to work but in the end, it will all be worth it
