[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, you are being too hard on yourself. Delete IG. As for suggestions: Lots more physical activity for everyone, like long walks together as a family. Start traditions. Even silly ones. Let the kids make decisions, taking charge of small things. Empower them. And realize grumpy is a personality, too, and one you can love and even celebrate. Hug your grump tell him you love every grumpy part of him (even if you don’t in the moment) and appreciate his opinions. My grumpy child just turned 18, knowing he was accepted in all his grumpitude kept him engaged with the family and feeling like he had something to contribute, which lead to improvement in his behavior. [/quote] I’d love examples. I think our poor son strives to make us happy and he sadly knows we’re unhappy with him. :( but it’s so hard to accept a grumpy kid. I’d love examples.[/quote]
