[QUOTE="Andy, post: 190846, member: 5096"] That is fantastic insurance news - we had a $50.00 deductible and I was beyond happy about that one also. So, difficult child forgot about you taking him to purchase a toy when discharged (I think I remember that as one of his requests while hospitalized?). Boy, that constant arguing - I hope the Manipulative Child book has given you some ideas on that. The house rules are an excellent idea. I can see his point about the dog in the bed room. Some boys just need a dog but like you said, it is not working. My difficult child had our puppy sleep with him for awhile until puppy decided not to sleep all night - or easy child stopped gathering the puppy when she got home at nights. It is good that you set a time line for the rules to be reviewed and updated as needed. Maybe when difficult child starts to argue, get him to put it in writing - ask him to put his case in writing explaining why he thinks the rule was set up, why he doesn't think he should have it as a rule, and what he thinks should replace it. We know his verbal arguing skills are there, let's start working on his written skills. "You know what, difficult child? You argue too much! I don't feel you are hearing me. Please put your complaints in writing. You may also write how you would like to resolve the problem but know that I am the judge and can overrule your idea." May not help change a thing but wouldn't it be peaceful for a few minutes while he put his case into writing? Have him research when needed (cost of something, time of lights out if he needs to get up at a certain time - if you must have 10 hrs of sleep and be up at 7:00, what time do you go to bed, etc.) Welcome home difficult child! Terry, good luck with the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) testing. [/QUOTE]
