We didn't discuss The Child Whisperer, but I bought it as soon as it became available. I've read it, but plan to go back and reread to better absorb. I found it a bit overwhelming, frankly, as there are techniques I think could be very useful, but changing direction midstream with an 8-y-o is not necessarily a breeze.

Coming along! I feel comfortable with it. I went back and forth for a good while on subtype until, interestingly, The Child Whisperer, where it became immediately obvious to me that I'm a 2/3. Of course, that's the subtype I had completely ruled out prior. Of course. ::g::
