[QUOTE="Steely, post: 493748, member: 3301"] You are trying to find what feels like the "right" way to parent him, and you are also grappling with what others feel like is the "correct" way. As you know, you do have to just go with your gut - and you are doing that. It will take some time, but you will sink into what feels right, what works, etc. Only you know him the best, and what will motivate him, and what will un-motivate him. You might go back and re-read this whole thread, and jot down the ideas you like, and keep them in a journal as you go forward. He is only 5, so you have lots of time to experiment with what works best with him. As you said, I think restitution was more my approach - and it worked for matt. Time outs, taking things away, and other punitive measures did not work. Each difficult child is uniquely their own - and I am so glad for every parent that takes the time to realize that, and then capitalize on their knowledge in order to truly help their child. [/QUOTE]
