He suggests supplements rather then drugs. This way the child is more of a participant in how he feels. The book is and was helpful for me in my passing from mother to grandmother and the hormones that are changing my outlook and some days my contentment.

There are definitely days that it is extremely hard to love Joel, but I find myself stepping back and "studying" him, trying to understand who he is and his feelings. I see a poor confused, uptight, little boy who doesn't know why he does the things he does. There are days when I am "studying" Joel that I see this beautiful little boy that God has blessed me with. His beautiful smile, his laugh, his funny quirks and noises he makes,sometimes making ME laugh. :) It is in those times, the positive moments, that I try to focus on that enable me to see this beautiful boy, who is full of life and energy, wanting to be liked, wanting to be loved, that makes it easier for me to love my boy. :) Hi Jolene. :) I can so relate to what Teresa has shared, her feelings of impending doom when her son comes home, afraid of who is calling when the phone rings.
