[quote=Anonymous]I think it's okay for your son's grandfather to praise him for being tough sometimes. An appropriate situation is when your son comes out of anesthesia for a medical procedure. Your son is NOT being praised for covering up abuse, avoiding feelings or withholding sad thoughts of missing loved ones. He is being offered generic praise for getting through a medical procedure. And it's appropriate praise. I totally see your point about not wanting him to cover up abusive incidents but not wanting the grandfather praising him for being tough is I think taking this way too far. You can't edit people in this fashion in order to pre-empt an outcome. The only thing you can do is make sure your child knows he can always talk to you. I think you are going to make everyone miserable.[/quote]
