[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry you're having such a bad week. Personally I would rather give into a power struggle like that than deal with the potential negative ramifications of hitting my kid (all the research out there doesn't seem to support hitting). You could always telll the teacher he intentionally missed the test and let the teacher deal with the consequences. Anyway, this is just one small event, I would try not to stress about it too much. [/quote] so you would give in to him missing school to not get into a fight? welcome to the generation of snowflakes, how is that working out for you? PARENT YOUR CHILDREN [/quote] +1 A child that young doesn't have the perspective to realize this kind of behavior is a big deal. That's the job of the parent. What research shows that it's better to give in to power struggles with your kid? You don't think this leads to negative ramifications down the road?[/quote] maybe you all should read what that poster said. If you're at an emotional point where your choice is to give in to a power struggle or smack your kid, she is saying she would choose giving into the power struggle. Not that you would always given to the power struggle. You know, you don't have to be 100% consistent all the time, especially if it's going to lead you to being violent and angry. on occasion, you have to just step back from the situation and handle your own emotions before things go sideways. Also, you have no idea how dated and simple you sound using the played out word snowflakes. Give it up [/quote] So your solution is to walk away and let the kid miss school. How does that play out when the kid hits the teen years and *really* doesn't want to go to school? I love my kids too much to let them think they can miss school just because they don't feel like it. I *really* don't care how dated I sound. I don't parent by what's currently in fashion. :roll: IMO, that's how we ended up with so many snowflakes.[/quote]
