[QUOTE="Star*, post: 220573, member: 4964"] Book recommendation - and I highly recommend it for any age. Actually they wrote 2 - one for little kids and parents and one for teens and parents. You can order it throught this site too. It is called How to talk so kids will listen and how to listen so kids will talk. You admitted that you said "NO" to her and it caused a meltdown. What if there were a way to communicate with her and get your point across without her melting down? Would you give up saying the word NO to achieve that goal? read the book. We got through life everyday thinking that things that we say are okay and kind or that as a parent we should be ABLE to utter the words NO and get instant gratification. Even some of the things we tell our children thinking we're giving them a compliment come off to their minds as sarcastic. This book is a very very good one on one example WITH WEEKLY WORK STUDY.....on how to achieve effective communication with your kids and then it pours over into your life with others. I'm a work in progress.....but I can tell you that when I remember to follow the lessons in the book and it's hard -old habits are hard to break...they work even with the most obstinate 18 year old young man. What have you got to loose but the meltdowns? [/QUOTE]
