99 Ways to Drive Your Child Sane

If parenting your special needs child is no longer fun and you see each day as a grind, this is the book for you. It is small and gives one fun idea on each page. So even if you don't really have time for reading, toss it in the car or purse and read an idea as you wait somewhere. They are silly nonsensical ways of dealing with RAD issues. After reading this book I tried a few of the ideas. My kids response was to giggle or at least roll their eyes. I consider getting them to roll their ideas fun, so it was still good. It made me realize that I need to not take each day so seriously and showed me how to find fun in even a serious disorder!! I found it at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Ways-Drive-Your-Child-Sane/dp/0970352514

Brenda,

thank you so much for the positive comment! It's so nice to hear what you think. It's still so easy to worry about sooooo many things she does, or doesn't do. Sometime I will share a couple things with you. I just want everything to be ok! I'm sure you understand.

I understand 100 per cent. It will be ok because you are keeping a watchful eye and will catch anything that may come up early. I need to give you my cell. I think I gave you my email address on Denise's private blog.

That's a great post. I believe that you can de-escalte a lot with humor...
