[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 169107, member: 3419"] Thanks, Adrianne. One question, why do these kids feel out of control, and why do they not trust their parents to control things? (I guess that's two questions! :raspberry-tounge:) As a child, I did not trust my mom at all--she was way out of control--but I knew I had to do what she said. :sick: Why was my thinking as a child different from my son's? Anything in the book about that? Was there ever anything I did as a parent, early on, that indicated I was too wishy-washy or out of control or otherwise not in charge? Now, at age 11, my son says I try to control too much (IOW, he can do it better). I can see that from a middle-schooler point of view, but not a toddler. So many questions ... [/QUOTE]
