We began to have problems with our oldest son (5 yrs) when we found out our youngest son (2 yrs) was diagnosed with a brain tumor. It was during that time that our oldest started kindergarten and transitioned to the older before and after school care class. He was getting in trouble all of the time at school and day care. I was at my wits end when people kept mentioning accessing the mental/behavioral health referral system with our insurance company. I was so distraught. I made one appointment with a child psychologist and my husband and I were very uneasy that before even meeting my son they were talking about ADHD and medication. I made the decision that we were not going back there and were not going to have our son meet with her. We began using the program and listening to the CDs. It was amazing! It was so apparent that I had ineffective parenting skills. When using the tools given, it was so much easier to manage our children. We have put the tools into practice when dealing with both of our children and it is working wonderfully. We still have moments because it is more difficult to train yourself than it is your children. So it is necessary to ensure you are consistent! If you mess up, admit your wrongs and ask for forgiveness and move on. It has worked beautifully!
