[QUOTE="SRL, post: 34696, member: 701"] When it comes to raising children, a parent has to do what is right for their child regardless of what. In my opinion if your child is 10 and your cousin and mother had all the answers in guiding you, your son would be progressing instead of floundering. When it's not working, it's time to take a new direction. I took a lot of flak from family until they a) got a first hand taste of his behaviors and b) I ignored all their advice and found a parenting style that worked better than the one that I was raised on. They don't love it but they aren't dummies--they can see the proof of how it's worked in how well my son is doing now. Personally I wouldn't be taking advice from a family member who is in or near the field I was having trouble with my child in. There are plenty of sources who aren't so close to the situation. Cousin needs to stay totally out of your parenting and limit her business to her own clients. [/QUOTE]
