[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 625668, member: 17461"] Oh, this is key. Time. You have time. You can ignore the texts for a few minutes or forever. You can respond to any question or statement with: "I'm sorry that happened to you, honey." or "Let me get back to you, difficult child." or "Wow! What are you going to do?" Silence will allow your child to come up with a solution. If he doesn't, continue making the same kinds of "Everything is going to be just fine." statements. True. Recovering made an excellent point. The kids will up the ante. If we are prepared, even if our preparation is something we've written down ahead of time, we will have changed the dynamic. Cedar [/QUOTE]
