[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 178741, member: 393"] [B]Consequences at this age are much tougher in my humble opinion. Just taking away the handheld until he earns it back would be my tack. The teeth ~ heck that's become a natural consequence. You don't brush, you have cavities. I've given up on that battle for kt (& wm before he went into Residential Treatment Center (RTC) then group home). Simply was not worth the level of chaos. kt has learned, albeit very slowly, that I mean business if she uses her cell phone when it's not allowed. She know the consequence for this & hasn't pushed it for a very long time. With the cell, it was more teaching her to be responsible with that time; building a level of trust & in turn, showing my disappointment by "grounding" her from her phone (i.e. it's locked up for a period of time or she has to do enough chores to make up for it). Your difficult child is of the age, but can you work with him to come up with a contract of sorts regarding these things? A contract that is signed by both of you & displayed as a reminder for him. Just a thought. [/B] [/QUOTE]
