[QUOTE="Purple Cow, post: 104879, member: 4410"] Thanks for your reply. I've been typing here and totally lost my post just as I was on the last sentence. Dummy me. So here I go again. We have really had a hard time with consequences. Nothing seems to be affective so far. No matter what the consequences he continues to do the behavior over and over again even after consequences. We deduct $10.00 with each rule broken and I constantly remind him each time I will deduct more money with each infraction. Monday is when we give him money and we always have a blow up over it. When we do have a blow-up he pesters and annoys me for hours on end-- minute by minute. He rarely gives up. This past week he kept talking for three hours straight. He even pounded his fist into the door three times and his hand got all swollen up, then he blamed me that I caused him to break his hand (he didn't but could have). This was the first time he has done that but has thrown things across the room. We try to take the car away but he needs it to go to another town to attend college. He is only taking one class at high school now. He also needs the car to go to sports practice and games. We have decided that to restrict him from sports would not be good for him as he seems to be better when he is involved in sports. What other consequences do others take with an older teen difficult child? Any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
