I appreciate your visit.<BR/><BR/>I have raised a hard to deal with child. My words of wisdom to you are stick with what you've just posted. Be tougher than tough. I wasn't and it shows now that my son is 23. Deep sigh. If you think letting your son go splat against the wall of consequences is difficult now, imagine the situation with him as an adult. Pound away on those cars! <BR/><BR/>But, don't forget, when these guys are really unloveable, they need loving the most. <BR/><BR/>Lovely blog. I'll be back.DebMchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09920733814018656913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480701661803419103.post-64794888257441971982008-02-28T11:44:00.000-05:002008-02-28T11:44:00.000-05:00Kim, Honey you use what works!

It is difficult at times, this is the part they never tell you about before you have a child. But, I do want to get through to him before he has to learn the lessons in an even harder way. The price of a few toy cars is small compared to losing a job because he refuses to obey his boss. I had never heard of the "currency" but it so true. We have to remember what means most to us doesn't usually mean the most to our children.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04308536241010378733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480701661803419103.post-20485789955689910052008-02-26T23:50:00.000-05:002008-02-26T23:50:00.000-05:00Dr. Phil always says that you need to discover the...Dr. Phil always says that you need to discover the child's "currency" and obviously Hot Wheels is his. Good for you -- no, GREAT for you. God has entrusted him to the RIGHT mom and dad. Yes, I know your heart is breaking -- I had to do something like that too, and went into the backyard and cried my heart out afterwards. This is not how we dreamed parenting would be but it is the right thing to do.<BR/>God bless you.<BR/>Rita in OlyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480701661803419103.post-43448382666076120962008-02-26T17:21:00.000-05:002008-02-26T17:21:00.000-05:00You have my admiration.More parents need to be wil...You have my admiration.<BR/>More parents need to be willing to take types of steps you did today and truly parent.<BR/>You are in tune with him and what his priorities are.<BR/>Breaking the will can be tough...<BR/>I'll keep you in my prayers.<BR/>Becky K.Becky K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10531485758141842829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480701661803419103.post-36520112900969164982008-02-26T13:36:00.000-05:002008-02-26T13:36:00.000-05:00Okay, can I just say that for this you get the "Be...Okay, can I just say that for this you get the "Best Parent Ever Award" from me?
