I dont find it helps me much in helping the kids actually get better and I have to remember it's not my fault if they don't (these authors do a little too much parent blaming in my opinion, but it really, really helps me understand why the kids act the way they do).<br /><br />For staying calm I like the <i>Love and Logic</i> books. They don't work very well on our kids (because they expect the kids to mature and do things because they want to please their parents), but they help me back off and coach instead of getting emotionally involved.<br /><br />Another FANTASTIC blogger is Christine over at http://www.welcometomybrain.net/<br /> search her site for her video series. The pee song will make you laugh until you cry (or pee your pants if your bladder is anything like mine!). The training series are priceless.<br /><br />Mary in TXmarythemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08205319256573120866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852422397272068136.post-84695712805261021252010-04-14T16:54:19.099-05:002010-04-14T16:54:19.099-05:00Mary --
Thanks for your helpful comment. I will,...Mary --<br /><br />Thanks for your helpful comment. I will, indeed, find the blog you recommended. I need inspiration right now. I feel like all I'm aspiring to is tolerability. <br /><br />I read about RAD teens, especially boys, and thank God I'm not in that position. The whole concept of the child being stronger than me and the sexual overtones . . . that's why I'm frantic to get this under control now. <br /><br />I reread Katharine's intro to that book on occasions that I need to dig up more compassion and patience. It helps me more than anything else to remember that she is not acting these ways on purpose. My daughter is very controlling and it has been challenging for me to understand the difference between controlling and intentional. <br /><br />I look forward to getting to know you more.<br /><br />MelRadical Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09189725166733771143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852422397272068136.post-74992401272343127062010-04-14T11:34:24.280-05:002010-04-14T11:34:24.280-05:00I need to get better at coaching.
