I tried positive behavior strategies, reward systems, consequences, therapy, medication, accupuncture, EMDR, time-ins, time-outs, giving rewards, taking away privileges - you name it, we tried it! And yet nothing seemed to work. In fact, in my home, the behaviors just kept getting worse and worse and worse. I was so desperate to try to fix the behaviors that I didn't know what else I could possibly do. I was exhausted trying all of these things, and if you...
