What you have just said reinforces what my daughter's counselor has us to us. she has reactive attachmnet disorder and THRIVES on pushing my buttons and getting a negative response. But now that we are doing things that "Nurtured Heart" way, it's actually very liberating for me because i don't have to get angry and engaged in the, "But i've told you this a hundred times...negative lectures etc etc. the punishment (a deduction off of her allowance or grounding where there is also no contact with her pets) is doled out swiftly and immediately (like a police-man giving a ticket) and therefore, it makes it much easier for me to dish out positive reinforcement because i'm not all pissed off after getting all up-set. I don't get up-set anymore. It's great and she is responding VERY well!! Yeah!! there is hope!!<br />Cheers!<br />Gina Browning<br />author And illustrator<br />http://www.eloquentbooks.com/MoonbeamDreams.htmlGina Browninghttp://www.eloquentbooks.com/MoonbeamDreams.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-55516459259251249212009-07-22T06:43:12.705-04:002009-07-22T06:43:12.705-04:00Joel and Miss A -

When you have 28 kids in a classroom, it's tough to give all the time that each child needs.<br /><br />She-nir'eh et nehamat Yerushalayim u-binyanah bi-mherah ve-yamenu<br /><br />KT<br />Joel RichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
