Hi Dinah
There's a good book - I think it's called "How to Talk so your Kid will Listen, & Listen so your Kid will Talk."
Either that, or the word Child instead of Kid.
I'll see if I can remember any other books I might know of.
As far as I'm concerned, I'm a very poor example, in that I do NOT feel that I put enough boundaries in place or HELD them for my son & I sure wouldn't want your children to be where he is, ALTHOUGH - he's a good person - kind, caring, sensitive, etc. So I guess I did a good job in THAT way. But as to responsible, etc. not yet!!
Best of luck, Kath
