[QUOTE="DDD, post: 459936, member: 35"] Often I have found that too many words trigger a problem. It is hard to limit what you respond to when raising kids...especially those who are close in age. Mind you I totally agree with the advice given by other Board family members but for me I found the biggest problem was me. I talked too much. I responded too much. I had to learn to keep it "short and sweet". I realized that even as an adult I "tuned out" when listening to adults who went on and on. The sincerity of a brief response *picking and choosing issues" was the closest to a simple solution. Although I am not a loud person by nature I had to change my mode of parenting. Fewer words. Stifling instincts to call them out on things that really weren't earthshattering. It was not easy but it worked. Good luck in your journey. DDD [/QUOTE]
