Do you feel like you're walking on eggshells around your child? Fearful of the volcanic eruptions that could happen at any time? They can go from calm to rage in a fraction of a second or so it feels. It's almost like they're Jekyll and Hyde. They can be absolutely gorgeous, and they can be just the worst you could ever imagine - they're defiant, manipulative, violent, aggressive.
I've walked in your shoes. I was the parent of an adopted boy who came to me with such challenging behaviour. He was age three - hold my phone over the toilet if he didn't get what he wanted it. Now, now that hostage situation got worse as he got older. Until I discovered something called Nonviolent Resistance, which was a whole new way of parenting and completely turned things around and I trained in it professionally, to help other parents turn things around in their family. My name is Gill Tree, I'm the founder of Stressed Parent, go to stressedparent.co.uk Have a look at my ecourse From Hostility to Harmony and Sign up for my free film-based Mini E-Course. You'll also find you can sign up for some eBooks, there's one on '31 ways to build resilience to a challenging child' and various other resources there for you. So stressedparent.co.uk and I look forward to seeing you on my website.
