<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'">Opps, sorry missed this question.
I've got a first edition of strange but powerful book called " Stubborn Child ." It is the story of a young boy who was given up to the State because he was a "stubborn child, an <span style="font-style: italic">Under an archaic state law, a stubborn child was one who "stubbornly refused to submit to the lawful and reasonable commands of a parent or guardian." At the time, juveniles in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts were not afforded any so-called Constitutional rights. [4] They were considered to be &#8220;property&#8221; until they reached the age of majority.</span>
But, I know that this is a basic fear that many people have, that is their children won't respect them... they can't be trusted probably. And this feeling comes from deep within. Bred in the bone. With my kids, I operated on principles. Those no-hit behaviours I have been chatting about forEVER... I did that. Plus, the no yelling, jerking, or shameing part too. I treated them like helpless adults whose language I didn't understand when they were infants. I made them right, and tried to figure out where I was wrong. I considered crying as my most important problem, and I came running. I figured out a whole lot of things (in my mind anyway) about music, colors, temperatures, textures, rhythm, to stimulate and distract. I watched them and learned, or thought I learned, what was going on with them early. They trusted me. The world was a safe place for them. No scarey stuff was ever going on. Once they were talking there never was a problem.
Thanks for asking...</span>
