[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 60287, member: 1991"] The trouble with sitting with your kid, is you are rewarding him with your presence. I know, you haven't got a lot of choice - but it does make it even more difficult for you. I too would be angry with the advice you're getting - you CAN'T consequence a kid, if they can't change their behaviour (because it's impulse control problems) or they can't help it (such as fidgetting in class). There are a lot of things we have to stop trying to punish. About discipline - if it's not working, then don't do it. (like locking him in a room!) You never threaten a consequence you can't ensure will be carried out. And you need to be consistent. All together, this is almost impossible. Read "The Explosive Child". There is some discussion on Early Childhood forum, for a sneak peek. Marg [/QUOTE]
