[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 501946, member: 6705"] Well, there's probably some good stuff in the book... But let me tell you something about parenting classes. husband and bio had to attend a court-ordered parenting class. I went with husband - I told him, even if we had to pay for me, it would be worth it and also would show the court we were presenting a unified front. We had a pretest, to see what we already "knew", and then after 6 weeks, the same test again. The scores showed how much we learned; and the psychiatrist-teacher's impressions were also part of the final "grade". For me... As a stepparent with no bio kids of my own... I started at an 93% and ended at a 99%. The psychiatrist-teach was pretty impressed, LOL. And her observations about me and husband? We genuinely cared and were not gaming the system. (husband started at 88% and ended at 98%, so not much difference.) But... Most of the stuff we learned? Doesn't work on difficult children. At all. [/QUOTE]
