From Discipline and the Difficult Child

From Gene Bedley’s Discipline and the Difficult Child Seminars

Difficult Children

Difficult Children, sometimes need probation.

If I don’t get help I’ll need a vacation.

Difficult Children, both stubborn and defiant,

Their every move is less than compliant.

Difficult Children, view school a different way,

Their desire for attention challenges my day.

Difficult Children, fit every description.

I’ll go anywhere to find a prescription.

Difficult Children, they’re hard to endure.

They cause me to dig deep to find a cure.

Difficult Children, add to my load,

Making poor choices as they travel life’s road.

Difficult Children, have blind spots galore,

Increasing their options only adds pain and more.

Difficult Children, some days you’d expel.

Perhaps they are gifted, only time will tell.

Difficult Children, are absolute stress,

They’re really my teachers, it’s only a test.

Difficult Children, impulsive and bold,

Their history and future are yet to unfold.

Difficult Children, from difficult domains.

Love, logic and limits will produce daily gains
