Personality Clash

When a parent and a child can’t seem to get along, a mismatch of temperaments is often the reason.

By Ann Douglas

Refuse to play the blame game. Accept yourself and your child for who you are, differences and all. Play to your strengths. Use your knowledge of your individual temperaments to sidestep conflicts and power struggles. Don’t stick your child with a nasty label. You don’t want “difficult” or “lazy” to become your child’s defining “brand.”
