  • Emotional Blackmail: Is Your Child's Behavior Holding You Hostage?: I?ve worked with many parents over the years who routinely gave in when their children acted out. One mother I met, I?ll call her Linda*, had a twelve-year-ol d son who often used emotional blackmail and threats of misbehavior to get his way. Linda dreaded taking him to the mall, because she knew she?d end up buying him anything he asked for in an effort to keep him from calling her names, stomping and yelling at her, and making a scene that left her feeling humiliated and powerless. In effect, her son?s behavior was holding her hostage.
  • Do You Dread Coming Home To Your Kids?: I?ve had many parents tell me how much they dread coming home to their kids after work, or how they feel overwhelmed by the fights and chaos in their house when the kids come home from school. Why is this time of the day often so stressful?and a prime time for acting out? One of the reasons may be because it?s a ?transition time.? Transition events are moments when kids stop one activity and start another, or move from one environment to another. It?s also a time when anxiety is high and inappropriate behavior easily gets triggered?you? ll see acting out on the part of kids, and often, arguing and conflict on the part of adults. It?s been my observation that a lot of people react to that in ways that don?t help solve the problem.

  • Parenting in the 21st Century | The Harsh Realities: Superb article about many parents and stepparents getting tripped up by the notion that if they seek to understand that they will somehow appear to approve of the behaviors that have them so concerned. What I find happens is the opposite. By treating teenagers with respect, and as people who can think for themselves, you get to discover their whole world, and what matters most to them. You get to know them as who they are in that moment ? instead to imposing onto them who you want them to be and making them wrong because they are not the perfect child anymore.
