[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 273472, member: 3907"] Sharon, I still think dropping easy child off to walk part of the way is a good thing. Even if she gets to walk with her friend, she's still being deprived of your company and attention (not to mention the lift), which reinforces the message that you find her behaviour unacceptable. Also, sometimes the perspective of a peer will get through where a parent's words can't. If she and her friend talk about the situation, her friend may help her to see that she was being a menace in a way that you can't, because you're the one responsible for discipline. I find that "everything's okay now because I feel better" attitude as hard to take as the outbursts. I think you handled that part extremely well. Trinity [/QUOTE]
