Chica Speaks: 180, 200 or 150

http://chicatalks.blogspot.com/2008/06/180-200-or-150.html

Did all the one on one talks about appropriate behaviour and ones' obligation to be a good person, a contributor to feelings of pride from their parents fall on deaf ears? Why aren't parents talking WITH their children to understand their concepts of how to handle frustrations? I don't know I have so many questions and there is a lot of finger pointing in my thoughts. What frustrates me most is that ...
