[QUOTE="klmno, post: 216783, member: 3699"] I do think some of what you are describing is the difficult child domino effect of typical childhood behavior. I have to remind myself that raising a difficult child is like potty training. I can't put a set time limit on it and I can't say "ok, difficult child, you have three chances and if you don't get it by then, you're out of here". I might have to go over it with him and reinforce it 5,ooo times for 6 mos. But, it does appear that most of them do finally get the point. It's just that if we don't keep going over it and reinforcing it with our actions, it will take even longer and be even harder for them and harder on us. [/QUOTE]
