[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 566650, member: 3419"] In regard to the kids fighting, I'm sure others here have better ideas. But I totally agree with-the conversation between you and difficult child. Start out with-a positive comment, that does not commit you to doing anything. "Oh, you really do like those, don't you?" is a good way to start out. When my difficult child was little, I learned to stop or at least slow down in the stores, for example, and let him touch things and tell me how much he liked them, and most of the time, he'd get bored and stop on his own. What I used to do was say, "No, we're not buying anything today," which was a surefire way to start WWIII. It makes me self conscious in regard to conversation, but it really pays off. I'm amazed that your kids even pay attention to what you're doing. My couldn't care less, most of the time! [/QUOTE]
