[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 391007, member: 1157"] It is so hard, I know. I understand especially the frustration at the "magical thinking." It's all so irrational, and while we can see it and the potential pitfalls down the road, difficult children seem oblivious to it, which is maddening. Yet somehow, many of them glide through these things. I agree that natural consequences are really the only things that will "teach" a difficult child in situations such as these. Sitting by and watching those consequences happen is incredibly difficult as a parent, however. [/QUOTE]
