[QUOTE="Janna, post: 105370, member: 2737"] I think you may want to take time to think out consequences ahead of time for your son's actions and post them somewhere or make them clear. That way when something like this happens, you already know which way to go, instead of acting a little irrational like you did, and taking Christmas away (only to give it back). I'm a little lost as to what he actually did, originally, other than be lazy and not really look for the remote when you asked him to. Then all that spiraled into him doing something to the television. I think I read that right. As far as him not looking for the remote, he just wouldn't have watched TV LOL! Sounds like you are pretty stressed. I have all the major rules (i.e. getting up for school in the morning, no hitting, no name calling, doing chores) on construction paper in the family room where every child can see it. Beside those papers are papers that state consequences for non compliance. Maybe you just need a plan. It's much easier to have the same, consistent consequence every time. Really. Then you don't have to stand there in the heat of the moment and try to conjure up something you're going to only regret later (been there done that). [/QUOTE]
