They are not polite, they don't have patience, they do not ask but demand and sometimes we wonder, if they'll always learn it. Often, when I have to take one of them aside for a serious talk over their behaviour, they are scared to death and hardly know what I want from them.<BR/><BR/>It is a precious gift, having been taught respect in childhood - learning it later, is a hard or even impossible way. :-(<BR/><BR/>HelenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-34522356820181853982007-07-04T12:53:00.000-04:002007-07-04T12:53:00.000-04:00This book sounds terrific.

It only took a couple of 'confrontations' for me to hear myself escalating to his intensity. I couldn't believe how easy it was to become '13' again. Now, I write down a short list of facts before I have a heart-to-heart with my son. And, I try not to react in the throws of emotion. ~~back to toddlerhood, huh?!Chrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841483739221560253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-2644462919263340572007-07-03T07:41:00.000-04:002007-07-03T07:41:00.000-04:00Jennifer, I think I may make myself read this book...Jennifer, I think I may make myself read this book. It sounds really good. And I am concerned about raising a respectful boy. <BR/><BR/>And I really liked the repetition as a discipline idea. I'm going to try that out today.PDubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04143309679170770171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-27143741007348925322007-07-02T15:35:00.000-04:002007-07-02T15:35:00.000-04:00I am having the time of my life with My Teens.

He then proceeded to inform me that he was having a b-day party (he is turning 15) and he invited 15 teenage friends. I informed him that we hadn't done a big shop in weeks. We had no food for the family let alone a PARTY for TEENAGERS. He looked serious when he said--Mom I am voting you back on my island. We need food for the party.<BR/><BR/>Sigh--My mommy job is complete.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-17764329847181300262007-07-02T12:29:00.000-04:002007-07-02T12:29:00.000-04:00Great interview -- lots of good stuff here to pond...Great interview -- lots of good stuff here to ponder and apply.
