[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 506488, member: 3388"] DDD, in my humble opinion, I think you're doing the right thing too. The only way my difficult children seem to learn anything is through natural consequences. Those "lightbulb" moments seem to happen quickly after they experience negative consequences as a result of their own behavior. I agree with CrazyinVA that enabling them is not the way to go. It might solve the problem in the short run but in the long run, it only makes matters so much worse. Better to let him deal with the pain and hopefully that "lightbulb" moment will serve as the wake up call he needs to skip the BK. [/QUOTE]
