I agree with your point, Erin – and thanks for filling in a hole in my response. Yelling and constant anger are unacceptable. They hurt both the boy and the father. I am familiar with the “Love and Logic” material and also think it is a terrific resource for those parenting teens.

Except my son is 14. Good advice and I need to try it. But it’s hard when both parties get defensive! And it’s also hard to remain calm in the heat of the moment, when one feels the other parent is being too harsh with the child. (I’m not even using my name on this one in case anyone I know reads it!)

Any suggestions on how to handle things differently if the Dad is somewhat manipulative with your children and you’re divorced and don’t communicate well, when you communicate at all? We’ve tried counselling many times over the years (and the kids and I go regularly), but Dad has stopped participating and has his heels dug in pretty deep about. When browbeating stopped working (my son learned some assertiveness and potent directness through counselling) doesn’t work, he started being “friend Dad.”

If an adult is frequently yelling there is a problem. If an adult is frequently yelling at a child there is a big problem.

I would not affirm this parenting style; I’d recommend the father learn love and logic techniques.
