[QUOTE="Anna1345, post: 117883, member: 4292"] NVTS -- I agree. It is picking battles. My statements were more of a generality.... The trend I am seeing more and more on this board, not just in this thread, but over all on this board, is a further move or shift from parent's accountability to the child's accountability. I know that some of these kids are so overwhelmed that it is difficult to just get through the day. Beleive me I know. But for parents (in general) who are using the "let them fail on their own to teach them to want to do the work" (and I was totally summarizing and paraphrasing that), just know that it never truly works. I feel that no matter how bad the child gets behaviorally, we as parents MUST stick through, be strong -- at least on the outside - and be steady. Anything less is not beneficial to the child. Does that make sense? Again, not trying to offend, just merely my observation. [/QUOTE]
