[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 266944, member: 1991"] I'm with you on this. It's time. THat is the one thing that would make me feel OK about undermining para in front of the kid, especially if I had deicded I'd had enough and was about to raise purgatory by calling down as much flak from above that I could organise. But it's the thing - once you go there, you HAVE to kep following through. It's not something you do, and then not be around to continue. I also may have not reacted, out of pure shock. DID I really just see/hear that? Surely not! And something I meant to mention about the "safe room" - did you ever read the sequel to "Heidi"? The one called "Heidi Grows Up" where she is a teacher at the local school, but no children will come to school because they are afraid. The previous teacher took out one of the claokrooms and boarded up the window to make a dungeon, and one boy in particular, Chel, would get put in the dungeon and the other kids would have to listen to him scream... That is what this "safe room" reminds me of. by the way, read the book. And read it to your kids. Considering when it was written, I think Jonathan Tritten was enlightened. Very. Interestingly, all three books have difficult child kids in them. Johanna Spyri wrote the first book, Heidi," in German. Tritten translated it and then wrote the two sequels. Marg [/QUOTE]
