[QUOTE="happy, post: 399357"] Yesterday was a good day :) Gosh thank you so much for everyones advice!! The Post Its are helping and so are the couple advance time announcements for him. No struggles yesterday. Bedtime in 30 mins, bedtime in 15 mins, in 5 mins really worked. Same with dinner. He was hungry about an hour before dinner and he asked for a cookie (small Christmas cookies) and I let him have one and he wanted another and I said at dinner. I read on here about an example of that. It worked, itstead of me saying 'NO' and him melting down. :likeit: Not all the problems are solved but just the couple days of no arguements is great. My stress level is loving it, I'm very strong willed, and stubborn and get mad quickly. No patience on my part . He was watching a cartoon and I reminded him of all his homework he had and he said please can I do it after the cartoon is over. Grrr, I let it go and wrote a Post It - Homework after cartoon -25 mins, he read it and afterwards we had a smooth transition into homework. :grouphug: Thanks again ! [/QUOTE]
