[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 156863, member: 1233"] I know it feels unnatural, like you are not parenting the way you "should" but I think you did exactly the right thing. With kids like our difficult children, they don't respond in typical ways, so our parenting cannot be typical. After a while it will feel more natural to parent this way. If you have not read any of the Love & Logic books, I highly recommend them. They helped me see that the parenting I was doing was not what my child needed. What felt like walking on eggshells was closer to what he needed. My husband also learned to modify his parenting to fit what each child needed. Good Job, you did the morning bus stop wait just right. And the reward for you?? Your child had a much better day. You may be interested in checking out Love & Logic - they have books and audio cds and videos tailored for each age range, and for children with special needs. You can get an idea of what it is about for free at [URL='http://www.loveandlogic.com']www.loveandlogic.com[/URL] before you buy a book or an audio cd. I got a couple of their cassette tapes at a thrift store and had to copy them before we wore them out! It was really very helpful for us. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
