[MR] How does one deal with difficult children of nobility?

[Tracy / Therasia]

Ok...Kateryn, I like that proverb! Thinking I might have to borrow it sometime!

Keeping in mind that not all children will respond the same way... most children
do respond well to positive reenforcement. One does not always have to go negative
with a child to get them to change the behavior. 

Practicing a bit of reverse psychology works wonders! (this works on children and
adults alike!)

Cheers,
Therasia
