[QUOTE="artana, post: 225488, member: 6186"] JLady, I have only been on this board for a while, but after reading the Explosive Child, I can honestly say that I parent this way anyway. I also get a lot of scolding about it, coming from a Hispanic very old-fashioned household. But, as much as I respect my family, I have learned to tell them to back off. I had my mother here, and she was telling my child that she would not go on a field trip if he didn't stop whining. I looked at her and said, "Is that the truth?" and she looked shocked and said no. I told her to stop threatening my children with punishments she would not follow through on. This is very hard to learn to do. I love my family dearly and will treat my mother and father with utmost respect about most things. But, it is my child and I want him to feel like home is his safety net. He is still expected to behave, but the rules are more understandable to him and he knows I will try to give him advance warning of changes in schedule. I think eventually, people begin to understand. [/QUOTE]
