[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 16306, member: 3419"] don't you think too that for some of our adult children, they can get "stuck" in the teen years, maturity-wise and never link cause and effect? Absolutely, Judi! And Fran, yes, our difficult child do take a lot longer to mature. I have to remind myself of that daily. Sigh. I'm still frustrated at the lack of understanding my difficult child has, at the age of 10... my expectations are high because in some areas, he's SO mature. But he trashes his room and sees nothing wrong with-it (or perhaps since it's within 24 hrs he's still in the anger stage, despite the fact he's outwardly calm?) If I wait to withhold consequences, I will be inconsistent, Of course, in the middle of a meltdown is not the time to talk sense to anyone, but waiting too long can be as much of a waste. How to find a happy medium... [/QUOTE]
