[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 607967, member: 3388"] Marg's advice is excellent. Natural consequences are always the best teachers. It is important to pick and choose your battles wisely, to allow your difficult child to feel like he has control over his life, that he is respected... We used guidelines, rules and consequences we implemented when it came to dealing with safety issues and abusive behavior towards others, whether emotional or physical. Maybe we could have used natural consequences to teach these lessons too, but even to this day, I'm not sure how, without sacrificing the potential safety of my kids or my sanity... At any rate, this combination worked for us. Just my two cents... SFR [/QUOTE]
