Our son was online every day,mailing and talking with his friends.Maybe he would actually hear me this way.I didn't say anything different,but email just took the tension away.There'd be no shouting or door banging.Zack wouldn't feel under attack. Zack didn't reply for days.When he finally did,his entire message was four small words.I smiled when I read them:"You're right.I'm sorry." The children still fought,of course,but Zack changed.Best of all,I now have a better way to talk with not one but three of them.I like it that they don't tune me out as much as they used to.They like not having to listen to me shouting to them.Or as Alex says,"You're so much nicer online."
