I think it is very important for kids to see their parents working out problems through talking - as positive role models...another lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09775244053121117432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439435.post-1116754519525426622005-05-22T05:35:00.000-04:002005-05-22T05:35:00.000-04:00The silent treatment was recommended to me by my m...The silent treatment was recommended to me by my mother-in-law. She told me it was very effective - and it is. The idea is not to speak to the person (you don't say anything mean or ugly that way - that you would regret later). Other than not speaking you carry on life as usual(sharing meals, going about life as normal). This way there is nothing ugly said in front of the kids (or others) either - no shouting, etc. After a while you end up talking things out - without shouting (because it has blown over and you aren't really angry anymore).<BR/><BR/>At any rate, Mustafa isn't mad at me. He's having some other problems and he is afraid he will inadverdantly take out his troubles on poor old me. So I appreciate that he is keeping quiet. <BR/><BR/>I know it sounds weird, but for us it works. I would have never bothered with it, except my mother-in-law was so insistant.KhadijaTerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01279047119702679252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439435.post-1116711440586219642005-05-21T17:37:00.000-04:002005-05-21T17:37:00.000-04:00sorry this is so funny, you mean people do this 's...sorry this is so funny, you mean people do this 'silent treatment' in real life ..I thought it only happened in movies .
