[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 164749, member: 1233"] Welcome out of lurkdom!! Glad to have you with us. I think maybe what he means is that having you stand firm on limits, without being authoritarian or scary, makes him feel safe. There was a study done years ago about kids and playgrounds. At one school they had a fence around the playground. The kids played on every inch of that playground. Then they took the fence away. The kids stayed huddled in the center of the playground, even though the toys and four square and stuff were NOT in the center. It came down to feeling safer with the boundary there, and not feeling safe with out it. Our kids, and probably yours, like to know we will not tolerate certain things, and will do whatever is needed to enforce the rules we feel are important. Maybe that hleps? [/QUOTE]
