[QUOTE="DDD, post: 463156, member: 35"] Based on your prior posts it sounds like J is a pretty smart cookie. Not all children respond well to this method but I always used the next day to briefly rehash the poor encounters...and, of course, there were quite a few. After time had passed and things were calm I would say "Why don't we talk about what happened before? Tell me how you felt when we were angry and I'll share how I felt then too. Maybe we can find a way to avoid those ugly moments since you and I both love each other and prefer to be happy." Usually this helped teach sharing emotions, choices on way to respond..and sometimes the chance to apologize which made everyone feel better. I think you're doing a great job, by the way. All of us have had our moments! DDD [/QUOTE]
