[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 129497, member: 3419"] Hi, welcome. A lot of those behaviors sound SO familiar! I have stopped physcially restricting my son; he is almost my ht and wt now and it's too scary, plus he loves the fighting--I mean, he doesn't "get" that I'm his mom and there are even bigger repercussions for fighting--he acts like I'm a kid his age in a street fight. So, following all examples like yours, nearly to the ltr, we have, over the yrs, now gotten difficult child to leave the rm for a Time Out, and when he does not, I simply tell him "It will only get worse," or, "No play time with-Henry" (his best friend) and he immediately goes to Time Out. You have to MEAN WHAT YOU SAY. One of our worst failings was not following through and letting him outsmart us, because we were always on the go. I would suggest no more physical restraints, and just finding one big fat kapowie activity or item to take away that will show him you mean it. Expect a few meltdowns--big ones--until he knows you mean it and then all of a sudden, it will click. Good luck! :tearinghair: [/QUOTE]
