[QUOTE="KFld, post: 38036, member: 2442"] I think you have to choose your battles and stick with the ones you feel are most important. If you ask him not to put his hands on the walls because they are dirty, and he does it anyway. Hand him the sponge to clean it off and tell him he can't do something, say like watch his favorite program, until he cleans it off, then walk away. If he laughs, ignore him. Most of the time kids do this just to get us going, because they know it works. As soon as they learn they aren't getting what they want from their behavior, it isn't as fun anymore. He'll be really shocked that you don't react to his laughing at you. He'll probably even laugh at you more in the beginning, thinking you can only ignore it for so long. Heck two can play this game. You could always start laughing at him when he asks you to do something and see if he likes it?? [/QUOTE]
