"Unexpressed feeling never die. They are buried alive and come back later in ugly ways." (Stephen Covey)

If you (parents) tend to overreact to your child's misbehaviour - your child learns that he can't trust you. Mom, Dad, stay regulated!

We should not medicate the boys so they fit the school; we should change the school to fit the boy. (Leonard Sax, M.D. Ph.D)

Children do not develop on their own - they only develop within relationships.

If there is no relationship - nothing else matters !

"Cutting" is a visible sign to the world that you are hurting.

Simple rules adhered to when children are young can prevent more serious problems later.

Children mimic well. They catch what they see better than they follow what they hear.

Hurt people hurt people.

"Rules without relationship leads to rebellion" (Josh McDowell)

“Doc, I want you to evaluate my 13 year old son”

 

 

Parent: “Doc, I want you to evaluate my 13 year old son.”

Parent: “What does all that mean?”

Doc: “He’s 13.”

Parent: “How can you tell all that without even meeting him?”

Doc: “He’s 13.”
