[QUOTE="Fran, post: 155963, member: 3"] It's funny how what you called walking on eggshells and I know what you mean,believe me, is what I call changing my parenting and communicating. If you will deal with the safety issue tonight, then leaving it go in the AM will prevent him from having a meltdown and an awful day. Obviously if he is doing something that is dangerous you have to deal with the meltdown. I am so much more well thought out when I talk to difficult child. I don't use confrontational behavior for the most part. Obviously at 23yrs old, I have been darn confrontational but that was late teens. I wasn't wishy washy but I had certain priorities when difficult child was younger and I had to learn to talk to difficult child a different way. I thought of it as growing into parenting effectively. Your goal is to help difficult child learn how to be part of our world with proper behavior. Everything you do should be aimed in that direction. Your parenting is either a help or a hinderance to that goal. [/QUOTE]
