[QUOTE="Malika, post: 607284, member: 11227"] It's a good question. The way I look at it (could be wrong, natch), some children are born with constitutions that are grounded enough, together enough, independent enough that as long as they not treated abusively, they will grow and develop more or less as they should. Being thwarted or frustrated will not faze and derail them, they will not be riddled with anxiety at uncertainty and change. Our difficult children are not like that. They need a lot of extra help with negotiating life and their emotions. The only way one can do that successfully is by being aware of one's own functioning and emotions, and thereby knowing how to control them to some extent. You can't help someone else pilot a ship if you don't know how to pilot your own. That said - this is still very much work in progress this end... [/QUOTE]
