You too!
When i was a kid, my mother used to really emphasize the "bad' stuff in me.
I feel it's always good if a parent is aware of the "good stuff" a kid has, too. And make the kid aware, too.
I believe an emphasis on the positive, without denying the negative, could yield results.
OMG. Exactly. Instead of "what's wrong" with a child, say "what's right" with a child. It will yield results.
