[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 436042, member: 6546"] This probably seems like I'm coming out of left field - but I understand your husband's reaction on this. I mean - [I]HOW COME this wasn't done before???[/I] is really a good question. And sometimes, I feel like we, as parents, are always two steps behind trying to play 'catch-up' to solve our child's issues....whereas, if we had supports very early and were able to teach lacking skills at very early ages (instead of going throught he whole [I]is it a stage?[/I] thing) then we wouldn't be dealing with these issues later. I mean - you say you knew something was not right [I]from birth[/I] - and yet it has taken [I]6 years[/I] before you found a different approach to solve the problem. And I will bet that during that six year period - you have been given a TON of advice from every well-meaning butt-in-ski you met....more discipline, less discipline, more quality time, more time-outs, more rewards, less coddling, more hugging, less smothering, and on and on and on. UGH! So - Why are you only hearing about this now??? I think he's got a point. So maybe it's not that "he's not on the same page" - as much as he is expressing his anger and frustration at the whole situation...and knowing, correctly, that HIS parents would never have gone through this baloney.
