Thanks ultramarina and ElizabethN. My son is 6. What to Do When Your Temper Flares looks good and I think I'll see if his psychologist has it when I go in to see her on Friday. If not, maybe the library or Amazon. I'd prefer to be able to see it before buying. To know if it's something he'd get into or something that would be totally uncool.
I wouldn't be completely opposed to herbs, but he's generally averse to new medicines (like if I get grape rather than cherry flavored) and has never swallowed a pill before. I will look into it more. Were effects immediate? I could use some for myself.
I thought I had read the Explosive Child book, but it was Raising Your High Spirited Child that I read awhile back. I'm going to put Explosive Child on my reading list. I also recently got The Manipulative Child, which I've read HK recommend on this forum (everyone says it's a great book with a poor title). That should come on Friday.
