[QUOTE="Fran, post: 76462, member: 3"] Geez, even parenting a easy child makes me want to scream in the night and giving in is also part of teaching negotiations and life lessons. Who doesn't have to give in to bosses, co workers, spouses, kids??? The secret may be to use the negotiating to teach hime the "do to get?" that works for my difficult child. If he wants something like the game, then what do you want him to do for you? Pick your battles and remember everything we are teaching them isn't about the here and now but for the future of how to live a healthy,productive life. Ease up on yourself. Take stock of how you want to work with your kids and what result you want then start fresh today. There are times when difficult child hugs me that I can feel a bit frozen. Other times I love him to pieces. I try to keep it under wraps. You must act loveable for people to respond in a loving way. It doesn't have anything to do with "mama bear love". If difficult child does good stuff then hugs are welcome but it is unrealistic for him to expect that he acts horribly and you are to just open up and accept his affection willingly. [/QUOTE]
