Grinity, how do u always figure me out?!
Because I just put myself in the situation you describe and ask myself how would perhaps you had better head over to energyparenting.com I had the exact same feeling when I read 'Transforming the Difficult Child,' like they had set up cameras in my home! They say it's for children who are 'Intense, Sensitive and Needy' - well I guess I could say DS is all three. To tell the truth, I feel that for as much information and sensation as he has to handle just going through his day, he is 'Easygoing, Not Over or Under Sensitive, and resourceful.' But compared to what his teachers are used to seeing day after day, yes, he fits the discription, KWIM?
How is parenting with love and logic working out? My concern is that even a calm 'lecture' is still putting attention (reinforcing) negative behavior, when the ignoring from your 5 minute technique allows your son to build inner resources.
Remember your resolve from the other thread to give more free play time? How is that working out. Be determined that if things are cooking at home, get outside and take a play break. You are in no hurry. He is still healing from his school experience. So often, we gifties think that because we can imagine something, it the world must able to give us that right now.
Love and More Love,
Grinity
