[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 567481, member: 1514"] I think you are talking about two different things. You can certainly give in on the small stuff. Who cares if he is Little Lord Fauntleroy? If he wants to dress in a brown shirt with polka dot pants, thats just fine. If he wants to have long hair, who cares. You can not sweat the small stuff. You have to sweat the big stuff. You have to keep his safety a priority. He cant just take off by himself without you knowing where he is. I think that would be an issue. I would assume you need to be able to at least have an idea where to find him. I would also think stranger danger is an issue there as well. Maybe not...dont know. I would think he would have to behave in school and do what he needs to do there. Some other things you can simply start learning with time. I would think that slowly over time he is going to have to learn to not be so aggressive with people or he is going to lose friends. Tyranny is not going to be accepted as he gets older. It may be cute now but in a 10 or 12 year old it wont be. And as a wise person once asked my parents...if you cant handle her at 6, how do you expect to handle her at 16? Truer words couldnt have been spoken. [/QUOTE]
