Thanks freeus,

I thought about what you said "Always remember that you are teaching your children."

Maybe what you meant is:

Remember that you are always teaching your children (whenever you are with them). ?

I am very aware of this. My post was one-sided in some respects, for while he has been "hard to handle" lately, he has been more prone to hug and desire that I spend time with him as well.

I think some of the problems that we've been having has stemmed from inconsistency from both parents. I need to be more patient and my wife needs to be more firm. We both realize this and are working on it.

I truly think in some reagards my son (perhaps all parents think this) is somewhat advanced in intelligence for his age, thinks he should have more autonomy and the ability to do "big" things more than he is near being able to do. I don't mind letting him fail at something, but I don't want him to endanger himself or others.

Discipline or the expression of emotional responses ultimately must be developed in oneself. I just want to nurture that in him in the best possible way, while he is assured of our love.

Your post is much appreciated. I know that I also need to make a better effort to listen to him as well.

God bless you
Barry
