[QUOTE="Malika, post: 440813, member: 11227"] Yes, I like what Marg has said here. I think one of the difficulties (there are perhaps a few :) ) of raising a difficult child is being able to let go of what we are "supposed" to do. Because what we are supposed to do is stand firm in the face of capriciousness, etc. And yet... when you really look at it, is it so important that he have spread on his sandwich? At a cost of his meltdown and your anger and frustration. Personally I'm still really working on learning to be flexible, to let go of my own pride and need to win. Some things we do need to "win" on. Others, perhaps most, we can just let go... it's just about intelligent management, I think. [/QUOTE]
