[QUOTE="busywend, post: 180139, member: 391"] I personally believe all kids WANT to be good and make their parents proud. Some (our difficult children) just can't do it all the time. And I think it makes things even worse for them. Next time try to sympathize - or maybe you can empathize if you recall what it was like for you when you had hard times as a child. Say something to her like, "I know you are having a hard time right now, would you like for us to take a snuggle time in the other room?" These kids tend to lean toward the 'nobody loves me' syndrome - this tactic help in that area, too. Obviously, snuggle time will not work at 13, but most of us have found something that works only to find it no longer works in a few months. They keep us on our toes! So, if it only works one time, it is better than nothing. [/QUOTE]
