[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 633536, member: 17461"] Hello, and welcome. :0) Esri, I think the secret to being able to change the way we Interact with our kids has to do with changing our ideas about what a "good" parent/child relationship feels like. When we change our parenting techniques, our kids are required to do something different, too. Loving, compassionate parenting isn't working now that your daughter is older. COM's post gave you simple new ways to think about and respond to your daughter. This will change the communication patterns being set up with your daughter now, and make room for something new to happen. The hard part for me has always been not knowing how to step back and let the child figure it out on her own. If I don't help, I feel like a bad parent. Until I could really get it that I was thwarting my child's maturation, I didn't stand a chance of being able to not help. But once I stopped helping, both kids seem to be doing not just better, but great. Your husband is exactly right in speaking to difficult child as he has about the car. Good job. As these changes in your child are recent, you might consider bringing up the issue of drug use. Where did all that money go? Again, welcome, Esri. Cedar [/QUOTE]
