[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 203358, member: 23"] It's true in this household. We had to learn to manage difficult child in a way that was effective for him. It required parent changes, including learning to adjust our approach. Not easy for one that only had traditional parenting skills...... It's not necessarily the parent doing better in my opinion, after all, our skills would do just fine for regular kids. We have to have more than traditional parenting skills. But I do believe that getting ourselves under control emotionally, learning to be consistent, yadda, yadda, yadda has to be the first order of business in many of our difficult children cases. I think professionals term this wrong too often and put parents on the defensive, e.g., take a parenting class (which may or may not be helpful). Intentionally or unintentionally, they indicate "bad parenting" is the problem. There needs to be parenting classes for parents with special needs kids. [/QUOTE]
