[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 262517"] Actually, for the most part, I like Dr. Phil. I like the affirmation "How's that working for you?" However, I have found him and other mental health professionals to be lacking when it comes to really "getting" how life is with difficult children. With reference to food, I DO think many parents (not just moms...UGH! :frowny:) need to stop enabling their young kids by buying excessive junk food and keeping it in the house. Or using food as rewards/awards. Again...difficult children...well...that's a tricky subject. A difficult child will do whatever it takes to get a snacky poo. :knockedout: And I mean WHATEVER IT TAKES. Some people do not understand the concept. Do not understand the freight train that might come at them. Or the roller coaster ride. I'm having this problem right now with my difficult child. I, as a parent, can have a minor influence. I will use whatever influence I have. However, my difficult child, since she is an adult...ultimately makes her own choices. by the way...I have, literally experienced my difficult child (when she was a kid) throw herself on the food store FLOOR in full blown out, heavy duty, VERY LOUD, temper tamper mode, because I would not buy her cookies. I stepped right over her and continued my shopping. [/QUOTE]
