I like it a lot.

It reminds me of when my eldest was about 14, and being really
obnoxious. I remember just feeling like tearing my hair out one day
when she was lippy and awful......and then finally I had a bit of an
epiphany and looked at her and said, "Somewhere I read that children
need love most when they're being their most difficult. So I'm going
to love you really hard right now." And I gave her a hug and she
melted and we were able to talk whatever it was (long forgotten, now)
through.

Ever since then, I've been able to remember that more easily. It sure
came in handy during some difficult times down the track, especially
with #2.

Thanks for the reminder.

I wish my exhusband would read the quotation. Should I forward it on to
him?

Yeah, go on. Someone has to break the ice and it isn't going to be him or
your daughter.

okay, I will. He will probably think I'm telling him what to do and see
it all negatively.
