[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 41612, member: 10"] Hi, Timer Lady -Midwestmom ' Please don't personalize how I parent or react to rages or meltdowns - it's what needs to happen here.' I am truely grateful to MidwestMOM for sharing her painful childhood experiences and her unconditional love for her child. I have been around various parenting forums since 2001 and her writing on this thread has been one of the most profound and emotional pieces that I have read. Ross Greene writes ' Children do well if they can ' ( not if they want to ) Alfie Kohn writes about the inherent goodness of human nature. in my humble opinion kids want to do well , be successful, give their parents pleasure. It is so difficult to perceive a difficult child as such , when parents are often being abused by their difficult children. It is so difficult to see that your kid is also suffering and not really enjoying what is going on. Midwestmom writes from a place where few have been , she has shared with us what goes on in a kid's head. We are dealing with perceptions and need to be responsive to the child. This board is a place where learning takes place , our paradigms get challenged , in the hope that each person will take what speaks to her and have new tools to help reach parenting goals. Midwestmom for me was speaking from the deepest and most intimate feelings in her heart , not a commentary or being judgmental on other parents Allan [/QUOTE]
