[QUOTE="Malika, post: 476734, member: 11227"] Just about that, buddy... I of course agree with and understand what you say. And yet... there have been a few occasions recently when I have responded to my son with an (authentic) impatience or directness that might be the kind of thing I would regret and feel was less than ideal and yet... he has responded positively. As if he appreciates the honesty, senses the connectedness of that. If that makes any sense. And obviously it's a question of balance. You do face a dilemma, klmno. It is horrid to hear this kind of shouting. Funnily enough I was thinking of posting something about my immediate neighbours today because their combined shouting at their tiny (not yet 2) daughter, she mainly hysterical and nasty, he extremely aggressive, is very unpleasant to witness. Nothing I can do - they are just ignorant people, with little education, who doubtless would be horrified if anyone thought they did not love their daughter. In your case... what can you do? I would suggest the forum if you can find a diplomatic way to do so. They don't have to know who you are here. Or, just lend them a book... "The Explosive Child"? The bridge has helpfully been put down for that. [/QUOTE]
