[QUOTE="klmno, post: 262593, member: 3699"] Lisa & Donna- I think the point you are leading to is what Dr P was trying to get to. (Not that I want to advertise for him- I don't always agree with him either.) But apparently this week he's trying to cover families where the kids have taken over and the parents are giving in WAY too much. Today he had on a kid who was dressing too revealing for her age. Yes, it's a self-esteem problem, but it's difficult to deal with the self-esteem issue if the mom is giving in and buying the daughter these clothes. The other day he had on a teacher who did salvia (I think that's the name of this new popular- and legal- drug that's as bad as LSD) AND she was getting it for her son, then complaining because he was 3 years behind in school and had no motivation. I know these things don't apply to those of us here- that's why I brought it up on the WC. Being warrior moms of difficult child's is a lot different than just enabling all this in a kid because a parent doesn't want to deal with an issue. Now, whether or not each kid is a difficult child or just being enabled- well, I guess that is case specific. [/QUOTE]
