We seem to be humming along quite well at the moment. Most of the time we are on an even keel but now and again issues arise.
Lately I have started to notice the similarities in the behaviours of my two year old child and my 13 year step daughter. I know that might sound flippant and unkind but it's true. There are some real similarities when it comes to not getting their own way and then having a melt-down and storming off.
I've developed some strategies for these situations - try to keep conversations to a minimum, never ever lose your temper and best of all - don't look them in the eye and slowly, slowly creep out of the room.
