This week, my 13 year old son’s verbal abuse turned physical for the first time. Needless to say, the incident really shook me up, and I ended up phoning the Parental Support Line of the Total Transformation Program for help.
Here’s what happened: My son refused to eat leftovers at home the other night. He wanted to go out for a sit-down dinner. I didn’t want to give in to his tantrum. Then again, I worry when he won’t eat. I decided to get us out of the tense situation by bringing him to a church function with me, along with stopping by a fast food place on the way.
