Punishing them is really just cruel So when parents have these special children they end up searching for answers and when they find GBD they find that it doesn't matter why a child is doing something, you respond to it! Our specialist highly recommends PD for all of his patients' homes

I just wanted to quickly add to the original poster, this is one of the main reasons why you'll find a lot of parents with children on the autistic spectrum on these boards, nothing else works for us. I have a child with high functioning autism and I spent ages watching programmes or looking at books that would help me with disciplining him...it was frustrating for me to watch say a mainstream programme like Dr Phil and see the tag on at the end of the programme, this will work unless your child has a problem like ADHD or autism. One of the beauties of GBD is that it works for all children
