[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 601801, member: 805"] [FONT=comic sans ms][SIZE=3]Holding our tongues, sitting on the edge of our seat, and walking on eggshells is a warrior parent's lot. However, there definitely comes a time with our difficult child when we do have to be honest and open without being cruel and disparaging. Life will not always "hold its tongue". When our difficult children are in our safe cocoon, we do have to push so they can hopefully learn how to handle themselves when we are not there..... I began to slowly challenge my difficult child and push his frustration button when he was in 6th grade. Little by little, by little, by little he began to learn the signs of impending anger and frustration and slowly began to self-modulate. At 17, he's far from typical or easy child, but he has a much better understanding of what it takes to maintain control. *Sharon [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
