[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 181083, member: 1991"] I can't help you with how to get such an evaluation, except to suggest you talk to your doctor about it, or ask others on the board. It's one of those things that is different for us in Australia. I wonder how husband would feel if he realised that far from disrespecting him, she is actually using him as a role model and patterning her behaviour on his example? Sometimes we have to stop and listen to ourselves and how we interact with our kids. Then stop and listen to how other adults interact with our kids, then think again about how we interact with other adults. How, for example, would you interact with another adult who lived under the same roof as you? Almost certainly, you wouldn't talk to them the way you talk to your kids - so why talk to your kids that way? Familiarity and a position of authority can so easily be misused and it serves no useful purpose. We can actually achieve far more by using the "adult flatmate" tone in our communication. Sounds weird, but when you take note and then try it, you can see some surprising effects. Marg [/QUOTE]
