[QUOTE="klmno, post: 376069, member: 3699"] in my humble opinion, yyou can do both- consequences AND coaching. My son brought up at our last visit that people had always told him what not to do or what he should do, but he didn't always know HOW to deal wwith everything. That might sound like an excuse, but I can remember thinking the same thing as a teen regarding some difficult issues I was trying to deal with. It did take a specially trained therapist to help me work thru those things and most difficult children probably need that too. But until the difficult child is ready (and I'm not sure Kanga is) and the knowledgable therapist is there, I'm not sure how much can be done. Either way, it's my opinion that the consequences still have to be there. As Terry says, they are a part of life and unless the kid is bound to live his/her entire life in an institution, the world just isn't going to change for him/her. [/QUOTE]
