Existing Client Has Issue With My Discipline Policy

You are correct, he KNOWS the rules at this age. Good for dad for introducing consistency into the child's life. If Dad wins this war, they will soon have a well-behaved child who is no longer confused about what's acceptable-the rules will be the same whereever he goes.

If Mom brings it up again, I would offer her another option: I can continue with MY discipline program, or you can come pick him up for the day every time he hits.

Well they stuck with it, and dcb is wonderful both HERE and at HOME. Mom apologized to me and the next day wrote me a note explaining how she used my technique and how it worked, and brought me coffee and a muffin (which I had the kids split, since I am dieting).

They are one of those golden families, parents and kid, so I am super happy it ironed itself back out!

Badly behaved parents go bye bye.

I HATE when people slam doors! Even when I am mad, I never slam the door (only on accident when there is a gust of wind) because I see it as rude, disrespectful, and childish! Then next morning I would have given her a term notice for such disrespectful and childish behavior! Sorry if it seems harsh but that is one of my pet peeves.

Yay!!!happyface

I agree with some of the PP - you need to look at the overall character of the parent not just one moment... Glad it worked for you
