their parents, and feel the need to get away. How long do you let them "get away" or have "extra space"?
We let our son cool down, or let him scream it out until he looses his voice, then, we will usually sit down later that night and speak to him. Then his father will take him out on a "father and son" dinner just to talk and re-inforce that we care, and only want the best for him. |

| Daniel either stays in his room with the stereo very loud or g on a walk for a while. Usually we are able to talk things out later, also. |

| My ss will hang out in his room and go on the computer (probably to complain about his parents, LOL). When he is ready he will come back out and talk. I think it is harder for him with his bio-mom, I have witnessed their arguments and she wont let him walk away. I don't really agree with her doing that since sometimes people just need to calm down to be able to discuss things. |

Our 'teens' don't behave that way.
We really don't disagree. |

| When Dustin lived w us and we had a problem;wed sit all the kids on the couch and have a family discussion.Hes gone and now its the sd that we have to set on the couch and the rest of the family and have our disagreements.As you know lately has been alot.She thrives on the attention.Negative or positive it doesnt matter to her.My son had a lil bday party this weekend and she had to be the center of attention as soon as they got here.Hubby was having to call her down several xs and she even got sent to her room 2 xs.Shes very self centered.I never let problems go;I believe in swiftness.Im learning to be more assertive, because of his lax ways w her. |
