Six weeks ago, if you had told me this child would be out of my room, I would have been singing and dancing in the streets. It was bad.

The child you describe is WHY I do not teach little kids ever. Knowing what your older kid needs is a good thing and I'm glad you guys are spending more time either way.

I also like the way you juxtaposed the rewards/punishments. I love the way you looked at your life and tried to see the upside of all the difficulties you are experiencing.

Very well written and real food for thought. About the personal growth opportunities that lie in Older Son's experience of late: blessings to you and yours. Not an easy situation, but you're obviously doing your best with it and knowing you've done that will be its own reward. Lovely, succinct post. Very well written and real food for thought.

The whole idea of "personal growth experience" is the very essence of punishment and reward. Good food for thought with this one. I like how you did this post.

Punishment: It takes all this crap to become a better person in the first place. Punishment before reward in this case. ;-) “Reward: I get to use this as a ” personal growth experience” and become a better person.”

By the way, I have heard more than once that drinking lots of fluids prevents high altitude problems. I've never tried it but I think it must be true.
