[QUOTE="Malika, post: 578070, member: 11227"] Just to be clear... I am NOT saying children should not fold or put away laundry, as some general principle :) What I was saying was that in this particular case, it sounds like it would be more skilful and fruitful to try to understand the child's absolute resistance to doing so. It seems to me that, given his extremely abusive history at the most formative age, he is doing incredibly well. Truly. I don't think responding to children with compassion and understanding is giving them a crutch - on the contrary, I believe it is providing them with the strongest bricks you can to enable them to build themselves, so that they will be fortified and equipped for the "real world".
