[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 411130"] There's your answer. There is NO one way to parent that works for EVERY kid. Doesn't happen. But you have two that show you have techniques that work with those kids, this just means that you have to find different techniques for the third. And you likely already have a good idea of what ways DON'T work with him, which is a good start. And many of these kids, in my experience? What works one week may be useless the next week, or month, or year. They'll keep you on your toes, and you can learn a lot from them. Some kids do better in a firmly structured environment, some do far better when they feel they have more control (feeling they do does not have to mean they really do - just give them extra options that you also find acceptable and let them choose if you're not already doing that). You're here, you're trying. You're not ignoring the issue, you're looking for help. Discovering the best way to handle your little individual so they can grow and learn and eventually be a reasonable adult is what parenting is about, and that's exactly what you're doing. [/QUOTE]
