We went through some of the ...(((((((HUGS)))))))!! We went through some of the same with BJ--not with RADs but with completely insensitive people who could not get their heads wrapped around the fact that cultural difference was not amoral, and yes, it totally sucks when you're telling a 5 or 6 year-old to act better than the adults (or elders) around her because, by law, you can't beat the adults' heads against the wall screaming, "BUT YOU'RE THE ADULT! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S OLDER! IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE COPING SKILLS, WHY SHOULD THEY????"<br /><br />Ross Greene's work has helped us tremendously. Not only for dealing with behaviors from our children, but also with dealing with the behaviors of small-minded individuals around us (and, sometimes, with my own small-mindedness as well). I HIGHLY recommend "The Explosive Child" and "Lost at School".<br /><br />Again (((((((HUGS)))))))!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06231818670835653986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347324365882583578.post-56454738521744523602011-02-04T14:13:25.667-08:002011-02-04T14:13:25.667-08:00You are doing the right thing...if there weren'...You are doing the right thing...if there weren't the issues in the house there would be a consequence and as a parent you would feel bad then too but it is just magnified because of all the other things going on. Everyone has to learn how not to throw temper tantrums and you are right that Sissy isn't lerning but WG has the capacity so she has to learn.
