[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have one very difficult kid and he has gotten better every year. He is only 10, so I cant speak to the teen years. But we have been putting up with angsty and defiant behavior since birth, so this idea of your teenager transforming from sweet to rotten doesnt resonate with me. I think my spouse and I have done the hard work to keep progressing and learning how to provide support, and I expect it to keep getting better. This is generally the answer I hear from other families with difficult kids. We arent scared of the teen years. [/quote] I'm one of your people, PP. Our difficult kid is 16 and this is the hardest year so far. I expect things to plateau at 17-18, just in time for adult-level challenges (literally) to set in. Solidarity. [/quote]
