[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 198414, member: 1697"] Many kids do great with behavior mod and rewards charts etc.....BUT some kids do not. Some kids CAN'T. If an ill child COULD conform with a rewards system, many kids would not need many accomodations, medications etc. If your child does not have medication stability going right now, most behav mod and rewards sytems will not work well, and could cause problems to become even worse. Have you been useing the thorazine? I did not look thorazine up- and I do not know if there are adjustments to starting it, or if there is withdrawl issues going off it. If your almost 16 yo does not have any diagnosis, no symptoms of illness or disorder, your 16 yo and your difficult child will not behave at all the same most of the time. The illnesses listed in sig for your younger child by nature are often responsible for ugly behaviors and name calling. I'm not saying accept it or just let it go, but I am saying that it is very possible your child literally might not have control over these behaviors. And if your child has no control over them, behav mod will not address the behaviors. Did anyone at this site suggest a book about basket method? I think written by a Ross Greene? Or maybe the Explosive Child? or The Bipolar Child? You might be able to find some ideas in those books to help you cope with your child right now. But yes, stability and consistancy are important.... Maybe you could ask on the general forum for ideas of how to get thru right now while you are trying to get some kind of medication on board that helps your child? [/QUOTE]
