[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand.  If she corrected her son for spitting, why would the other parent then proceed to tell her that the kid spat at them?  If she didn't correct him yet, the only response to the other parent is, "yes, I know, sorry," and then proceed to correct the kid.  What other interaction with the other parent would anyone have at that point?[/quote]

It's because the other parents don't think she's corrected him harshly enough, basically.  They want to see the kid punished for reasons that have nothing to do with actually helping the kid learn better behavior.  Ask me how I know ... [/quote]

Precisely. We also ignore certain things because he seeks negative attention. Paying attention to them particularly a lot of loud attention reinforces the behavior. So if I just move him away I'm not being lazy as much as you love to think that all bad behavior stems from not parenting just as you would.

And this is why this is so hard. But yes go ahead and refuse to learn. You do realize this is how we once treated all kids of people who were different than us and then used as an excuse the old but they've got to get along in the world adage. This is why this is the last frontier mental health and will always be. The resistance to learning. [/quote]
