[QUOTE="Steely, post: 167815, member: 3301"] And sorry she gave you advice that made you somehow feel different. [I]"I have only seen one child do this"[/I], is a statement that would make me feel even worse, because I knew my child would be [B]the one[/B]. That is what is amazing about our board-we [I]all [/I]have [B]the ones[/B]. Hugs. PS Think of puppies. If you sit down with a puppy they suddenly have no limits. You say no, and they don't even get it. If you stand, then the whole dynamic takes on a different tone. My dogs behave completely different if I tell them to do something while I am laying on the couch vs standing up. FWIW, I think this also works in reverse. As my son started to tower over me, his violent tendencies towards me went away pretty quickly. Knock on wood we have not had any episodes for over a year - and I think partly it is because suddenly he realized he really [I]did[/I] have the physical power, and it finally scared him and sunk in that he could really hurt me. Somehow, he finally matured, got it, something. [/QUOTE]
