[QUOTE="Janna, post: 28095, member: 2737"] We discipline here for school behaviors. The consequences for actions are firmly laid out and known by all ahead. If a child gets sent home with a disciplinary notice or I get a call from the school, it is one evening with no electronics (this includes PS2, computer, television, stereo). If a child gets ANY suspension, it's a 3 day no electronics. Now, they can read. They can color. They can play board games, go outside and play, or do anything else constructive, but, they cannot have the electronics. This works for us. However, when I first incorporated this little venture into our life, I had to start small (for example, disciplinary notice, no TV only), then work up. I think alot of it depends on your child. In our case, my children are manipulative (lucky me). They would instantly say to themselves "ooh I can be bad at school and still come home and play the Playstation". I will not have that for one second [img]:smile:[/img] I think you and your husband should just figure out consequence for action and write it on a piece of construction paper, dry erase board or whatever for your child. Make it clear. Explain it before difficult child goes to school, and keep it consistent. Good luck, Janna [/QUOTE]
