[QUOTE="Andy, post: 156147, member: 5096"] Sounds alot like my easy child diva at that age (Don't be too scared, but she is still like that - I wasn't good at parenting it out of her) Your difficult child's ""Would you rather I just keep it all inside and not say anything and end up hating you?" is something I have always thought about with my kids. I often said I would rather know what they were thinking than not. (And even though she was allowed to let it all out, my easy child still ended up hating me.) I didn't do this with my easy child but I wish I would have tried. Tell her you always want to know what she is feeling but she needs to learn how to tell you in a respectful way. I am working on this with my difficult child. I have learned that kids can be respectful in how they vent (wish I knew that 8 years ago when easy child started). After a disrespectful vent, say, "Can you repeat that in a more respectful tone? I want to know how you are feeling but I do not want to feel like you are attacking me." [/QUOTE]
