[QUOTE="buddy, post: 493009, member: 12886"] Very smart. Natural consequences are not always possible and do not always work. For Q any attention, even negative can reinforce a behavior. But I do use a lot of logical consequences and sometimes I have to point out my logic to him, LOL Like if he simply "can't help it" when he does something then I say, thanks for letting me know, it is my job to help you then. And I provide a situation where he can either rest his brain if earlier bed time is needed, or he carries things to keep his hands busy or whatever... I let him know why he needs to do what I am telling him. I think your point of needing to be yourself is important. Of course that does not mean we can just give in to urges and anger in an inappropriate way. but our style of parenting does have to match our genuine selves. Kids can easily see thru fake. [/QUOTE]
