[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 266932, member: 1991"] MWM, I also can feel the rage, even across the Pacific. I'm sure there is a lance-like beam of laser boiling a line across the Pacific OCean from me to Shari's son's school! However, I feel politeness is important, for the same reason we want the para to be polite to difficult child - how else do they learn? In this, the para is herself a difficult child who needs to have the right techniqus modelled for her. That is why I treat teachers, aides, paras etc with respect for as long as I can, but if I snap, it's the same as if I snap at a naughty child who has pushed me too far. Again, I will endeavour to not shout, but they will know I am angry and they will know that there are consequences. But it is vital to stay polite, to not shout, to not swear but to kick rear ends hard if necessary, with steel-capped boots. Only when necessary. Such as now. Because like any stern response, it is most powerful when you DON'T use it. So use it sparingly but effectively. Then go home and slam your fist into the wall, or smash some glass, or scream into your pillow. Marg [/QUOTE]
