[QUOTE="klmno, post: 262389, member: 3699"] I don't know- I can see when difficult child was having a meltdown- say over homework or something causing anxiety that humiliation is not the answer. But I know that when he was little, he tried the manipulation by misbehaving in a store to get something he wanted. The first couple of times, it worked because I was embarressed so I gave into him. Then, instead of me getting embaressed, I stood back and looked at him and didn't give in. Then, HE got embarressed over how he was behaving and stopped. So, maybe it just depends on what is behind the behavior- the clip they showed on this show clearly looked like a manipulative kid and the parents even said that they gave in because they didn't want to deal with the bad behavior they'd get otherwise.
