However this is not true, children do like consistency because it does make them feel safe. We recently hosted a Solution Focussed parent group and the issue of saying NO became a key topic. When we finished our group sessions all parents felt that their children actually respected them more for saying NO and felt secure that they knew where they stood. This is not to say that it wasn't a bit of a challenge at first to start saying NO and being consistent, as most children will want to test your resolve, however it is WORTH it and the payback is HUGE I totally agree, a lot of parents worry that if they say NO they compromise their relationship with their children.

He is violent to his younger siblings. His dad (we\'re divorced) tells him to get me in trouble with CPS and the law. He has absolutely no respect for me or other family members. I\'ve had to call the police on him twice for destroying property and hurting me. He has been in counseling for over a year and his counselor does not know what to do. Do you have any words of advice for my situation? The father has filed numerous false reports with CPS. He has a history of abuse of my son and the others. I left him because of the abuse and trying to get help for my son. I love him but I\'m at a loss as to what to do. I am a single mom of 5 boys some with special needs going to school full time to be a teacher and on a very limited income.

I will not change rules without informing my teen.As a parent I must remain firm even if my teen begs,attempts to barter w/ me I must remain firm w/ rules & regs. Thanks-Thanks a million This info. was indeed very helpful in showing myself were I was wrong, by not being consistent in setting boundaries,rules and discipline.
