[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 416295, member: 11001"] Oh I just read you earlier reply- I was raised in a military family. I had a tough, drill sargent dad. There is good and bad from that, as there is from all parenting styles. I'm a teacher and we tend to like to have things under control. Boy have I had to add to my bag of tricks! Kids are just plain wired differently today. And our difficult children maybe missing a few wires! I really love the Love and Logic stuff-puts a lot of responsibilty back on the kid and allows some natural consequences. But, nothing works all the time. I know, having worked with behavior disordered kids and my own "funky" kids, that relationship is everything. I also know the more I "take control", the more they fight me. That doesn't mean they don't have be respectful, but should they choose to be, consequence will happen in a matter of fact way.Your intentions are all good. Again, from my mistakes at micromanaging,pick the big battles like school and safety. Stay the course and know you are not alone. Hugs! [/QUOTE]
