Reasonable Resolution #11:
"I will stop using disciplinary strategies that don't work"

One of the hardest things about dealing with children's behavior is that no approach works for every child.

Keeping up on different approaches, taking what works and leaving the rest is a good policy. These items on the Parenting Special Needs site will give you ideas and assistance for tailoring a strategy that's right for your child.
