[QUOTE="klmno, post: 171639, member: 3699"] I agree with many things said by different posters on this one. Mainly- one size doesn't fit all. Think about the IEP conceept and how so many of us have to fight the sd to get them to see that different approaches work differently with different kids. I'd also like to ask that we keep in mind that many times, parents sit down to read and vent and share on this board right after they have just removed their "warriar armour" for the day- which might mean that they just returned home from that appointment with the psychiatrist who couldn't make the medications work so he insinuated "maybe it was a parenting issue" or maybe they just returned from visiting a relative or haviing an IEP meeting- you catch my drift, I'm sure. It is easy in those cases to react over-defensively because we feel like we have already heard all the blame and negativity that we can stand for that day and we do hope to be "redirected" more gently sometimes. [I]Edited to add:[/I] I, personally, don't feel like I have ever been "verbally attacked" here, so maybe I was speaking out of line to try to speak for others in the paragraph above. It was just an effort to try to see how things can be misinterpreted when looked at from two different perspectives- being that we don't talk to each other face to face and we don't always know what that person has just dealt with the hour before coming online here.
