The classroom I‘m working in uses this as their guidebook so I figured I‘d give it a reread
Fate intervened last night, apparently. After I posted my plea for help & advice (which is still more than welcome - because I cannot, CANNOT, keep doing this), I was browsing the “family & relationships” section of my local library‘s OverDrive page & found this book. It said there was a waitlist, but I figured I would put it on hold. Got this email this morning, about 8 hours later, saying it was available.🙌🏼 #library #libraryholds #fate
Well, I think I found the description of my daughter. I'm hopeful this book holds the keys to helping us both. 🤞
"...it's clear that it's not just explosive kids who need help identifying their concerns; taking another person's concerns into account; expressing frustration in an adaptive manner; generating and considering alternative solutions to problems; working toward mutually satisfactory solutions; resolving disputes and disagreements without conflict." Hm. I know some adults who are the same way...
pickWhen you read a book that explains your kid better than anything else, it's automatically a pick. But this book has more going for it. Tone was friendly and encouraging as well as firm and clear. Much needed explanations helped with grounding, orienting, & moving forward. Excited for the future (and really proud of where my kid's at now!) after reading this.
I just finished reading this book so now I'm an excellent parent. AMA
