[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 176180, member: 1233"] Terry, All those "awesome counsellors" only deal with each kid for a month, or for a summer. They also don't have 24/7 responsibility for anyone but themselves. They get breaks between sets of campers. They have someone they can send the child to if the problems become more than they can cope with. As parents we have them 24/7. All the responsibility all the time. Yes, there are schools and daycares and classes and churches etc... BUT who do those places all call when it gets to be too much?? Mom and dad. The people the child won't listen to on a daily basis. And, sometimes we have a certain parenting style adn we have a kid with a different style - if hte 2 don't match at ALL then there are some real problems even in a family where every member is a easy child. As parents, there are various books etc that can help us. One that specifically talks about the different styles of parenting is Helicopters and Drill Sargeants by the Love and Logic people. It was a quick listen on audio and was very illuminating. Glad difficult child is having a good time. [/QUOTE]
