[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 510005, member: 3419"] Both. I tell my difficult child that if he can't cut out the rude comments as we walk by, he will have to either go to his room or lose his TV cord or phone, or both. I used to tell him he'd lose TV time or his allowance. You have to change the response to fit whatever they value at the time. And then follow through and expect an explosion. Sometimes, expecting difficult child to fling a nasty comment my way, I come into the room singing opera as loudly as possible, and working in phrases like, "I can't HEAR you, alalalallallala la!" He will of course yell louder and complain but he gets the point and after a few minutes, will stop. I just have to force myself to be as perseverant as he is. I'm with-Buddy. Does the threat of summer school mean anything to her? [/QUOTE]
