Feb. 8 Meeting 2:00 P.M.

We watched the Explosive Child DVD last meeting .

This group is just forming so there were only three in attendance.
I felt that the goal of bringing new and useful information to our group was fully achieved.

If you have an explosive child or if you happen to be an explosive parent , the information on this DVD is helpful.

We will be discussing the information and possibly reviewing the DVD during our Feb. 8 meeting.

I was able to put the suggested ideas to work the very next day .
My goal for my ADHD child is to allow "natural consequences" into her life , for choices she makes.

It was while I watching the DVD on Sunday that I realized what I had been doing that was provoking an explosive reaction from my daughter.
So true to what I had been doing , I did it again on Monday, but this time when she exploded I realised why. So I began using the techniques suggested on the DVD.
The end result was a "win , win situation." She got her concerns voiced and I had my concerns voiced and then we problem solved together until both of our concerns were taken care of.
This was so much better than the way I had been doing before, and I reached my same goal , which is letting her live in a real world .
