Older Child Adopt-Do they ever really love you?

Wow all of the above is awesome advise and this should be something you think about and parent from knowledge and the heart! Hard balance to work out for sure! I know in the past I have let some behavior go that I wish I did not and felt like "nina" got me, but I am trying to learn and not let it happen again. I know a big thing for me is making sure you make a rule, STICK TO IT, lay out the consequence and make sure you give it once that rule is broken. Making sure they know what to expect is a big thing that I have learned from parenting and from the classes. I wish you all the best!
