[QUOTE="627666, post: 216894, member: 6376"] Welcome from me, as well! You will soon realize you are not alone and you will continue to receive great advice from many wise parents on this site. I am relatively new and find great comfort in the stories many people have already shared with me. MeowBunny, once again one of your posts inspired me to write. I agree that too many restrictions and "punishments" make these kiddos feel like they can never climb out of the hole. Love & Logic helped my husband and I learn more about natural consequences, like the ones you referred to, and I strongly recommend this book for alternate ideas. I believe I have gone off track with my own difficult child, who is almost 12, by constantly riding his case and using techniques his behavioral therapist recommended. My son feels like he can never win so he does what he wants to. He feels people have already judged him so he gives up easily. We have to work hard to point out the positive behavior and improve his self-esteem. Hang in there, Mom! We are happy to have you. 627666 [/QUOTE]
