[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 538063, member: 1233"] I think this is true for most people. Years ago husband and I were in a parents' group at the children's hospital while Wiz was in a kids group. One of the things that we were asked to do was to define what qualities a bad boss had and a good boss had. Then we were asked to see our actions as parents in light of these groups and to figure out where our behavior belonged. All of us found that our kids gave us far better behavior when we were good bosses than when we were bad bosses. It was an interesting exercise and a very helpful one. It is something that I try to remember and refresh myself on when we re having problems with the kids' behavior. I have even found help reading books for managers. one of my faves is called "Zapp! The Lightning of Empowerment". It is not a long book, but has some great ideas and ways to look at things. [/QUOTE]
