[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 42266, member: 45"] For my difficult child, consequences have never seemed to work to stop the behaviors. If it's something he really likes (like video games) he will be upset when he doesn't get to play them, but it doesn't prevent the behaviors from happening again or in the first place - even when he knows it will lead to a bad consequence. When it comes to house cleaning, my difficult child would rather be grounded from everything. He refuses to do it. We could threaten to ground him for 2 years and it still wouldn't get him to clean his room. Rewards seem to work better for difficult child, but lately that doesn't even work regularly. I have started to empty his room out when he won't clean it. I have an old box about dishwasher size full of things from his room - including his gamecube and and xbox. His favorite books are in there. He wants the stuff back and sometimes gets mad about it, but it doesn't motivate him enough to even start to clean his room. Every once in a while it will work - we just try to enjoy those times while they last. [/QUOTE]
