[QUOTE="SRL, post: 434704, member: 701"] I agree with not abusing any child, but I don't agree with the never scolding or accusing part. Certainly if you're early in the journey and don't know the underlying causes or extent of issues and certainly if the child is emotionally fragile. But once you've reached the point of the child making progress and they're emotionally in a stage where they can be nudged forward, sometimes a good old-fashioned mother scolding can be effective with some kids. And I'm definitely going to confront a child's lies, because that would be a basket A for me. I'm going to choose the time and place carefully, but I probably won't let that go. As always, take any parenting advice (including mine, no, especially mine :-)) with a grain of salt. Kids change, we change, situations change, and we are all coming into this with some different value systems so what works for one parent and child at one point will probably be the exact wrong approach for another. Hope today is a good day. [/QUOTE]
