[quote=Anonymous]Does she yell because you are not listening? I mean, life isn’t fair. I just had this conversation with my 10 year old yesterday. Her older sister has profound special needs, which means our life just doesn’t look like other families. We talked about how, yes, it sucks that we sometimes cannot do things that other families can do. It sucks that we have to still babyproof for a 12 year old. It sucks that her sister cannot tell us her favorite color or communicate. But, we also talked about how we are very, very lucky that we have enough money to hire sitters so we can still do lots of things, that we have plenty of food to eat and that lots of people love them and no one is hurting them. But if I just kept blowing my kid off or punishing her when she says “this sucks and isn’t fair,” she would likely escalate.[/quote]
