[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 227414, member: 10"] Heather, Thanks for sharing. For me it is a raises the philosophical question of how we view others and children in particular. Ross Greene says that ' children do well if they can ' . The vast majority of kids want to succeed in life and their maladaptive behavior is a reflection of bad coping skills and distorted thinking , these are kids with challenges . I prefer not to say ' I have a difficult kid but rather I have a kid with difficulties or challenges. If we say a child does well if he wants to , in my humble opinion we are open to be judgmental about him. As Heather says we don't like hearing people talk about our kids in a disrespectful way so we too even when we are being stressed out by them , it is so easy to forget that they are struggling too , and even if we don't say it out aloud feel pretty negative to them.
