[QUOTE="whatamess, post: 528630, member: 7664"] Beautiful, Mailika! I'm so proud of you! Looking on with compassion and following through with the decision-very good. J had only himself to struggle with at that point. I know that with our children once we engage with them/begin the battle the focus is immediately drawn away from the original request/demand and instead the focus becomes winning instead of working together/compliance. In a way, I think it can be comforting for our children to know that they can storm about and we will remain calm and follow through no matter how volatile they get. He will forget the particular demands of each situation, but he will always remember your demeanor and your reactions. How lovely it will be for him to reflect in future on what a patient, loving mother you were and he will realize how trying he was during those times (mind you, he might be 30 when he realizes it!)
