[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 696013, member: 18516"] Danged if you do and danged if you don't. Sometimes there is just no winning with our kids. He wants your advice but he doesn't, or rather he only wants advice that he can align with. If it were me I would patiently listen and when it came to the point where he wants advise I would ask him "well, what do you think would be best" and whatever he answers say something like "that is one way to go about it" then say "you might also consider (fill in what you want) It's not so much what you say but how you say it. Making it more of a "suggestion" than a "direction" You know your son and you know how this dance will go, slowly change the music and lead him into a different dance. ((HUGS)) [/QUOTE]
