[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 613204, member: 14557"] Try another way of looking it. Not how to take a control back or how to efficiently punish. You have tried that and it is not working. Instead try to come up with structure and schedule that helps your son and you others to get through the days with minimal damage. Don't be too afraid of noise or him acting up, but try to understand his triggers and things that tend to lead to him having bad time. And try to come up with things that help him calm or note the situations in which, or after which, he is more calm and agreeable. For example, if playing outside helps him, don't ever take it off as a punishment. Instead make sure he gets enough outside playtime regularly and in right times (for my boys, even for easy child, the nights were absolutely horrible, if they didn't get couple of hours of outside free play after school at that age. Luckily our school days only lasted four hours or less so they had lots of time to play at afternoon before their hobbies and having to do their homework.) Food is another big thing. Try rescheduling snacks, that may make a huge difference. Does he like to be read? It was one of magic activities in my house. Having kids with me on the couch and reading for them for half-an-hour after dinner calmed them down really well and helped them concentrate and behave more calmly for rest of the evening. Try different things and find the ways that work with your son. medications on themselves are not likely to do the trick, neither are punishments or any other discipline strategies. But try also different discipline strategies. With difficult kids positive reinforcement works often better than punishments. And from negative consequences the natural consequences work better than unrelated punishments. [/QUOTE]
