My wild pack of Indigos are such a triggering force in my life. As a parent one has to be constantly posturing in order to get the kiddos not to do each other in. It is exhausting with all this conflict resolution continously going on.
Although since I have enacted behavioral positive reinforcement (essentially a bribe chart) things have improved. But the motivation for peaceful behavior is extrinsic instead of intrinsic. I fantasize what is it like to have introverted sitting all day and staring into space kids... I watch my neighbors kids across the road and all they do is sit all day and stare into space. No fence around their yard. Not boisterous yelling. No trying to take everything apart. No climbing the curtains to discover that the weight limit is beyond the curtains capacity... I envy people whose house is neat and tidy and without the wall paper torn down by kiddos that find a crack in the wall and pick, pick, pick at it... gosh... what would it be like to have complacent nearly comatose complient children?
The fine line is between Love and discipline. Talking about it does not work nor does any type of parental grumpiness. So it is an intense parenting experience for me at this time.
