[QUOTE="Chaosuncontained, post: 472393, member: 11016"] I tried grounding Carson. I've tried everything. Nothing ever seems to "work" though. Carson just recently called one of his teachers a bad name (a "b*tch"). While I KNOW he can't do that...I also know that she asked him to do something that he *felt* he couldn't do. She then threatened him with OCS. So he muttered under his breath and was overheard by another student. He recieved 2 days of OCS. That was his punishement. We talked about what hapenned when he came home. He told me he was angry with himself or "losing control". Sometimes I take computer time away. Or TV time. Sometimes telling him he has to go sit on his bed for a few minutes causes him to WAY over react...but it gives him time to cool off and regain control. It really depends on WHAT he did. If at school--I let their disipline be the disipline. If at home I have to take in to account what he did. and what was his motivation for his behavior... a 6 year old brother yelling in his face or pushing buttons is handled differently than, say, Carson yelling at his sister for being on the computer "too long". It's very hard for me to to come to grips with the fact that some of his behavior he really can't help--his impulse control is minimal. It really WOULD be good if they came with intructions, wouldn't it? [/QUOTE]
