Very interesting Kriston. I guess how we react to things is made up of all our experiences, personalities, whether we are "internals" or "externals" as far as how we perceive blame, external factors such as school situations, etc.
We have other good adults in our kids lives so that is a good thing. I also keep telling them they can bring anything to me and we can discuss it and so far that is working well. Just hearing my friend describe how easily she was talked into doing things because she wanted to please her friend alarmed me a bit. My DS10 is a people pleaser (DS7 is much more like me so I don't worry about him as much) but hopefully it won't turn into his doing wrong things to make others happy. I'll just keep talking to him about things as they come along. Thanks for your thoughts!
