[QUOTE="Malika, post: 476866, member: 11227"] Thank you for your honesty, slsh. I think you tell it like it is.... probably few of us could bear close scrutiny in terms of how we talk to our children. I am better than I was but still... My house and my neighbours' house was once originally one big house - it has not been sound-proofed and we hear almost everything that goes on in our respective sitting rooms... I would actually be embarrassed about how I sometimes speak to J and about his yelling and carrying on at times - except that they are (without even a difficult child to excuse it) far worse than we are. They do not have conversations, I swear - they have screamathons... Poor kid caught in the middle of it. I also think the point about offering friendship rather than advice is an excellent one. Yes, that would be far more effective in the long term. And kinder. And, who knows, maybe the woman would turn out to be a person worth knowing. [/QUOTE]
