[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 40082, member: 45"] I know my difficult child doesn't respond to natural consequences. I keep thinking if I keep doing it, something will click. I can talk to him about natural consequences and he understands and can verbalize it himself, but it doesn't prevent him from doing the same sorts of things over and over again. He doesn't really have any friends, and he can tell me why. He's says he's mean to them and argues all the time, so they don't want him around. But, when he's around kids his age he just can't seem to stop himself. If they tease him (like all the kids his age tease each other - nothing really major), he overreacts and starts saying mean things to them. He knows he should just ignore them and move on, or joke and move on, but he can't make himself do it. I could go on and on with examples. If he doesn't keep his room clean, we take everything out of his room, including his TV, video games, and radio. He gets it intellectually, but can't connect it to actually change his behavior.
