[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 172017, member: 1631"] This is an interesting thread. As a teacher I am always evaluating myself and trying to improve. I would hate to think I hadn't improved in the about 20 years I've been teaching. As a teacher, I need to make sure I am giving the students what they need. It means different things for different students. I must continue to grow and improve for their sake. The same goes with my parenting. I need to evaluate myself and try to be the parent my children need. That has meant many changes for me over the years. I've had to learn (and am still learning) what type of parent my children need me to be. One reason I came here was looking for different ideas on how to deal with a child like my difficult child. I've gotten so many ideas and support it's been amazing. I believe it's helped me to become a better parent and a better advocate for my child. So yes, I think how we parent has a great effect on our children. I don't think, however, that it would make my difficult child not a difficult child. He would have these same issues no matter the parenting style. I think the parenting style can make it better or worse but doesn't prevent or cure the issues a difficult child has. [/QUOTE]
