[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 569646, member: 14557"] it's not about how hard she pushes you, it is about her pushing at all. With my boys it is certainly not about pushing, it is about four feet distance. When my difficult child was nine, about to turn ten, he was near me having a tantrum and I got some spit on my face and clearly understood that my little one wouldn't be little very long. So I did what I would do with any foal or puppy that would turn a big dog. I decided to teach him that my space was my space, he had no business into that without me asking and sky would definitely fall if he even brushed me in anger. When he was turning ten I explained to him that he would be a big kid now and some things are different for small and big kids. That while when the small kid throws a tantrum, mother will pick them up and carry them to their own room to calm down. But that big kids had to learn to respect other people's space also while angry. there was other things too, many of them positive, that he was now allowed as a big kid.First I had to remind him to take two steps back and get out of my space while angry, but he learned and now it has long been automatic. I taught exactly the same to easy child when he got to that age. Later I have had few talks with difficult child about how he really is quite a big guy and how he has to mind it that he doesn't come off as intimidating for others and keep the distance in certain situations. easy child seems to pick up that on his own and it is also likely, that he will not grow quite as tall as difficult child. Still he too is a big kid. [/QUOTE]
