[QUOTE="buddy, post: 493641, member: 12886"] I dont really see this as an approach to parenting in terms of technique, building skills, teaching, etc. It does not seem like it is a new way to parent in an either/or way (use this method instead of X method), as many others have agreed. It seems like it can be a nice way to choose to think of every interaction with a child...as long as when bad feelings come up you dont feel like you have failed. Maybe they are just saying to honor the process in a way that is as productive as possible, since making things be negative and "awfulizing" things really is of no help especially if it leads to giving up and feeling hopeless. I do think it is really important to look at a child holistically though. Dr Stanley Greenspan (floor time guy) is one that says that a diagnosis is not as important as taking a look at where our child is. Then move step by step from there. (of course there ARE reasons to know a diagnosis if there is a cause that can help with medications and choosing especially effective therapies, in my opinion but his point......) He tries to get beyond the label and not limit a child's potential based on that label. I never ever think, from evaluations to therapies, that any ONE method or philosophy is the be all/end all.
