[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 67161, member: 1967"] John Rosemond doesn't think some kids are just bad. He thinks that <u>all</u> kids are naturally self-centered (think two-year-olds) and need to be taught by their parents that the world doesn't revolve around them after the age of two. He was just making the point that some are more resistant to that idea than others. He is big on teaching responsibility, self-discipline, and emphathy which he believes in turn builds genuine self-esteem. He isn't big on the notion that telling kids that they are great simply because they were born builds self-esteem. He is also not against all medications. He simply thinks they are overprescribed and that non medication therapy should also be tried. He has links on his website to sites about Autism and ADHD so it's not like he is saying those disorders don't exist. There is a lot of misunderstanding about his beliefs. For example, he does not believe spanking is particularly effective although he also doesn't think a swat between the ages of 2 and 6 is going to traumatize a child for life either. He does advocate other methods of discipline as more effective options. I'm sure that I am not doing justice to Dr. Rosemond. I hope that anyone who is interested will go to his website and read more in his own words. As far as Ross Greene, I did read his book. It's just not for me. I don't think BBK should have to "negotiate" with a 6 year old about whether she is going to clean her room. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
