[quote=Anonymous]My DS was difficult - so much so, that he is our only child. He has a combination of family personality that was challenging. We were strict in ways that mattered to us-- but I think other parents don't understand. Constant power struggles with a difficult kid lead to escalations, not compliance. We have to choose our battles. Any time it made sense, I chose logical and even natural consequences vs. trying to impose authority. FWIW- DS is starting a great college in the Fall, has never been in serious trouble. Kids who don't listen to you, may not listen to anyone- which in his case, translated to not giving in to peer pressure and having his own vision of a successful future. [/quote]
