Explosion Triggers There are two things guaranteed to set off my 5 year old with ADD - rushing her, and when she feels she isn't being listened to. It's reasonably easy to plan ahead so we don't have to rush, but other people are a big part of the equation when she feels ignored. Does anyone have a way to encourage her to be less sensitive to this? Quote
