Yes, it might prove difficult. Yes, they may test you (when <STRONG>don’t</STRONG> they test you?). Yes, they may do something really horrendous. But if they do, walk them through the process of understanding what happened. Explain to them your perception of what happened. Don’t tout it as fact, just your perception. Then explain how it feels to you, and explain what you would like to see in the future. Maybe you’ll need to explain to them the consequences of their behavior (hurt feelings, broken cat, police got involved, whatever). But then, at least for a week, give them the opportunity to fix their behavior without a punishment.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/DD9AF9F3-2688-4DDC-BA9C-99877E1CEC61/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
