[QUOTE="Fran, post: 108294, member: 3"] Sharon, I may be off base here but I couldn't get my difficult child to do basic tasks like washing hands let alone research a word. Your difficult child is impulsive, explosive and has disordered thinking. If you think he would actually do this-go for it. As far as I can tell when a difficult child is this tightly wound up there is nothing you can make him do. It has to be when he is calmer and more open to understanding that you can tell stories of how the word is used. If he likes to be read to, maybe reading a book about hate and how it destroys one's humanity. Allowing words that promote hate to be used freely makes it all the more acceptable. If you think he will be resistant to you or husband reading a story with a moral, then maybe a intellect appropriate audio book where you could make parallels to his life and his behavior. Do role reversals and role play then tell him that his consequence in the future is XYZ. He has to understand that it is the parents job to raise a child who won't hurt others. If he dislikes the rules that you have put in place that's fine but you are there to protect difficult child and to protect easy child from hurt even if it's between siblings. easy child had a little potty mouth when in 1st grade. Just bathroom talk but we did the soap thing. It worked for him but he is a easy child. I could feed difficult child soap by the spoonfuls and he would never make the connection between his action and my torture. Certainly not at that age. [/QUOTE]
