[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 304633, member: 2423"] JJJ, with Kanga gone for so long, I'm not sure this is about learned behaviors. I'm not sure it's about manipulation either. My son is currently in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC), and we just returned from parent visiting days there, where we had two days of seminars teaching us techniques to parent boys with significant emotional challenges. A lot of what we were taught is to be there to support and empathize with what they were feeling. So in both situations you describe, a typical parent response would be to simply ask them what they are feeling. To discuss and process their feelings and build a relationship with you, their parent, so that the next time they experience strong emotions they come to you to discuss their feelings rather than suggest maladaptive coping strategies. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
