I have never considered my Skid as anything but my son. Would this work for both resident and non resident Skids?

If a Skid does not behave in accordance with the house rules the kid stays in their room the whole visitation and everyone else goes about their usual business.

Eventually the kid will catch a clue and get on board.

Though I have never had to deal with a non custodial Skid it makes sense that it would work. If the kid does not comply with the house rules and expectation of respectful and mutually supportive behavior then the kid can be sequestered away from everyone else. If the kid is upset .... tough crap. As long as that kids behavior does not impact the rest of the family then no harm no foul.

When the kid extricates their head from their butt then they can return to the family. If their flare up of CranioRectal syndrome lasts the entire visitation then kid stays sequestered for the entire visitation.

The same applies to resident children. Bio, Skids or otherwise. The rules apply, when the rules are broken the situation is addressed and the kid is sequestered until their behavior complies with expected standards.

This of course should be adjusted to be age appropriate but it makes sense to me that it would work.

I think the key is can the BioParent stay the course and not go in to guilt parenting mode.

Any thoughts?
