[QUOTE="emotionallybankrupt, post: 313462, member: 8226"] Is there ANYTHING you can think of, that he values enough for it to make an impact if you take it away? TV, phone, computer, going out...anything? He would know that a negative report from school would connect with this consequence? The book I just listed on the books thread, [U]The Defiant Child[/U] by Dr. Riley offers some very creative consequences. I came up with a few of my own when I'd just get flat refusals to turn off the TV, turn off the computer, get off the phone, etc. I had the computer modem stationed in my room, so that I could just unplug her; I learned which breaker controlled the electrical outlets in her bedroom and told her I owned the electricity since I paid the bill; and I learned how to unplug the phone from the side of the house and curse the phone company. At the age of 12, I bet you can find something to get his attention at least temporarily. Of course, there are also REWARDS, and contract systems. These didn't work for us, but I know they do for some people. [/QUOTE]
