[quote=Anonymous][quote]But the authoritarian approach just doesn't work with this kid: the last time we tried, she ran away, during a major snowstorm, no less. I don't really want any suggestions. This was a school offense, and the school is right to impose its consequences. But I am angry and deeply, deeply ashamed of her behavior. Just need to put that out there.[/quote] Why did you post if you didn't want suggestions? The shame was killing you? You should be ashamed - ashamed of yourself that you haven't found a discipline system that works. 'Authoritative' isn't the only model. PPs have it right that this isn't about you, it's about finding out what works for your DC so she makes better choices.[/quote]
