[quote=Anonymous][quote]I know kids can be difficult and some are born more difficult, defiant, stubborn, and rotten and there's not much you can do to alter personality, but what I take objection with is a parent who is weak and does not even give it a decent try to curb the behavior.[/quote] 1. I fundamentally agree with OP, ok? however I have ... 2. A very defiant, stubborn, sour and high IQ child who tests me about 84% more than your 7 year old tests you. He's been like this since infancy. I guarantee those numbers. Be that as it may ... 3. I consistently and firmly keep him in line, even in public, and sometimes I need to be somewhat harsh or even loud. I'm the mom at the mall, playground, parking lot or birthday party whose voice occasionally rises above a sweet cajoling plea in order to force her kid to behave a certain way. Sometimes -- brace yourselves -- I'll even grab his arm [i]in PUBLIC[/i]. This does not go over well in our liberal, over-educated, pacifist enclave of the District! Just posting to let OP and others know that sometimes, it's just out of your hands to some extent. [/quote]
