[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 425627, member: 1233"] Hi and Welcome!!! You are in the right place. Others will be along iwth questions, etc... Marg mentioned a great book. I also recommend the Love and Logic books - they emphasize logical consequences used in a way to strengthen the parent-child bond. You can check their various books out at [URL="http://www.loveandlogic.com"]www.loveandlogic.com[/URL] . I want to encourage you to start a Parent Report on each of your difficult children.
